Look at this battery charger http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...0&tab=des#tabs

Would this be good for charging a battery overnight? :confused:

Bad link - look for a trickle charger like the Battery Tender brand or Yausa - MAW has good prices on the Battery Tender brand - Get one that will go into 'float' mode - its safer.....

Take a look at this Sears charger. It's an automatic so won't overcharge, 2 amp trickle, 10 amp, and 50 amp start mode. A lot more versatile than just a trickle charger.

I've been happy with the Battery Tender Plus automatic trickle/float charger that I've had for years. Charges overnight no problem. But that is a good price on that Sears DieHard charger for $40 - sale ends today 11/29/05. Think I paid $60 for my Battery Tender years ago. Either one should work fine for you.

I agree - you need to have one of those and as many 'wall wart' trickle chargers as you have toys. I have one on a bike, one on a tractor, and one on the chevelle - was considering one for my truck too -

I have the one that FINALLY posted - it's worked great for years, particularly for those quick jump starts needed by friends and family, as well as my own truck occasionally.

If you want to be really cheap or are in a pinch and need it charged right away, drop off the battery at the local parts store and let them charge it for free and "test" it for you (they have to give it a full charge to see if it will hold). I have an Advance Auto Parts store by me that is pretty good about that. Took a 900 CCA Diehard up there once that was almost completely drained and they had it fully charged in about an hour.

Thats the one I am considering (and will buy this payday)!

Thanks :)

To recharge a really dead battery, you need to charge it at a low rate for around 8 hours, if someone fast charges it, it may damage the battery. Maybe yours wasn't as dead as you thought.

Maybe it wasn't that dead or maybe they just gave it enough of charge to get my car started and let the alternator do the rest when the car ran after, I don't know. Just a no cost option if you don't have access to a battery charger like I didn't at the time.
