on Amazon they are $169 discounted $190
Seen on net where other people have used them for cart charging.
I will see how it charges.
Steps 1 & 2: Test & Diagnostics
Checks battery voltage to make sure battery connections are good & battery is in a stable condition.

Step 3: Soft Start
Begins Bulk charging process with a gentle (soft) charge.

Step 4: Bulk
Continues Bulk charging process, returns 80% of battery capacity.

Step 5: Absorption
Switches to a constant current charge rate to bring your batteries close to 90% charge.

Step 6: Taper
Charges at low current levels until battery has reached 95% of its capacity.

Step 7: Top-Off
Charger initiates top-off charge to bring the battery to 100% charge.

Step 8: 24 Hour
Shuts off, but constantly monitors your battery by providing a gentle charge every 24 hours for maximum battery life.

How has this charger worked out?
