Hi Everyone,

  

 A little while ago someone posted something about a good battery charger  that was available through Walmart under a different name. I am getting to the  point where I want to start charging my batteries and I can't find the reference  to the charger.

From Tim:

 I purchased a Schumacher SC-2500A 

<http://store.schumachermart.com/25ampchsc.html> charger (actually I 

bought the WM-2500A...Wal-Mart's model number for that charger..



read it here <http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/upgrades/20070401/index.html>



I have the battery tender jr, as do others and it works fine, but it 

does not have the volt read out that the Schumacher has.

I have used the battery minder on the last 3 planes I have had. It works great. I ran the plugin into the baggage area and plug it up when it is parked. You can even boost from the plug of you have to.

I had looked long and hard and was jut about to buy Battery 

Tender/Battery minder type products for my plane.  I don't

disagree with their use.  But, what drove me to the Schumacher

was that once I dug in on a Saturday a.m. and read everything I

could find about charging Odyssey batteries, it sounded like their

preferred charge curve and voltage was not really compatible with

many of the common chargers.  Odyssey had a list of only a handful

of recommended chargers, and the Schumacher that I used was

identical to one that appears to be a Schumacher but branded

as an Odyssey charger that they currently sell...for much more

money.  I do know that there are a few chargers that are

specific to charging odyssey batteries properly, so my goal

was just to get one of those.  I can't remember the voltage

off hand, but I believe you want a top end of about 14.6V

when charging, and many either over or undershoot that by

a ways.  So I was just trying to go to the best possible for

the battery I chose.  If I were using just any old battery, I

may not think about it so hard I guess, but if you're spending

the money on an odyssey, I figure you may as well try to

treat it the best possible...that was just my theory.
