Battery charger brand?

63corvette · 05-07-2015, 12:41 PM

I have a Davis roadster which uses a Guest Marine on board charger.
I also use 2 Optima red tops. They last 5 plus years for me in the race car and I just change them and move them to the pickup or my big mower for the last few years of their life. The one in the pickup lasted for almost 11 years before needing replacement.

I keep the race car plugged in full time at home and it works as a maintainer.
My Guest has 2 lugs that charge 5 amps each. I have the lugs tied together like the batteries. It is an on board small charger which makes it easy to just take a extension cord and plug it into a bulk head receiver on the car. Clean and simple without dragging around a charger. I have had this system since 2007 and it has worked well for me.

Thanks for this reference.
I really like the "Made In USA" and the tech write up, do you have one of these? Anybody with experience owning one of their products?

Looking for the best between rounds charger until we get a Hi-Amp alternator on the car.

Dave ol buddy. Go 16 volt, you know the saying one you go, you wont go back. On the chassis dyno it make more at the rear wheels. Made a believer out of me and the MSD loves it
