Got over to HF late last week and picked up a couple

of the latest and cheapest chargers. The first one I

had a chance to evaluate was the 93258, 1.5 "on board"

charger.



Here's the recharge profile I recorded . . .

This is a bit of a pig for 1.5A charger. Probably wouldn't

want to mount it on your airplane. However, it is nicely

built and would probably be just fine for wheel or water-

borne vehicles.



It's NOT a battery maintainer. No top-off dwell. Further,

it oscillates between about 13.0 volts and 14.0 volts with

relatively short busts of input energy necessary to push

the battery terminal voltage back up to 14.0 volts.



An excellent buy at $13.00 but not the best we know how

to do with maintainers.

bob,  sounds like this would be an acceptacle substitute for a $25 

maintainer. thanks for digging into this. will be interested to see what the 

cheaper unit does if you get the chance. if you want to dump the unit you 

bought and tested , contact me off list and i will send you $13 for the unit 

and pay your shipping charges bob noffs
