About a year or two ago folks were posting how good the Vector Battery
chargers were. Any current comments with model #'s???

I have a few AGM boat batteries that are sulfated up and in need of a
charge. They are off the boat and in the gararge but my current charger
won't charge them.




Does your current charger have a pulse desulate mode?
If not, one that does will likely get it charging again.

I've had Vectors, but the one I use now is made by Schumacher which I like
better. Both Vectors that I had quit working after a few uses. At the
beginning of the 3 stage charge cycle the Schumacher senses the amount of
current flow and if not correct automatically switches to a desulfate mode.

Occasionally in the desulfate mode it will run for a while and then shut
down with an error indication because it was not sensing any (or enough)
current flow. I discovered that if I unplugged the charger and started over
it would eventually get through the desulfate mode, cleaning the plates and
into the bulk charge cycle.

I forget the Vector model number I used to use, but here's the Schumacher I
am currently using and it seems to work well so far.

I have lots of batteries that need to be charged, particularly in the spring
and this one brought them all back to full charge plus desulfated them. I
have never tried it on an AGM battery, however there *is* an AGM setting on
the charger under battery type.
