I need some advice on what battery charger I should buy. I figure that there are plenty of you who have tried different types and could give me a heads up. I moved a couple of years ago and had to store my 36 in my old garage. I try to go and start it up and drive it a few blocks every few months but last time the battery went dead. It's a fairly new battery. I need to go and get something out of the garage soon and guess what will be blocking it?
Thanks for any info.
Cheers

Unfortunately the 12v side is automatic but the 6v side is not. You might want to buy a 6v float charger to keep the battery charged? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | I use a Schumacher float charger. It's automatic 12/6v. If you connect it to a 6v battery it'll automatically switch to a 6v maintenance cycle.

Comes with a quick connector and 2 pigtails, one to hard wire, the other big alligator clips. I hardwired to easy to connect/disconnect without going to battery. When I need to charge something else connect the clips. $25 at Amazon for 6V http://www.amazon.com/Battery-Tender-021-0127-Junior-Charger/dp/B000CIPHT4Mike | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | Just posted that cuz Tiny mentioned Schumacher, they appear to
be handled by just about everyone out there, 'A' as in Auto Zone
was just the first one I picked out of the list.
Schumacher is the first one I've seen that makes the claim that
it's good for 6v or 12v. I never heard of them before Richard
posted their name up.
So I guess you dint make it to the reunion this year either???
I was planning on going but things didn't work out as planned,
again.
