smart chargers and Accumates

[John Mason]

5 years ago when in the Netherlands with my Ruby I had charging problems that I could not repair as I had not got the spares with me ( my car has the Dynamo converted to a 2 brush and has a solid state voltage regulator). My solution whist away from home was to buy a 6 volt battery charger and charge my battery at night in the hotel. It was then that I found that it was difficult to buy a 6 volt charger in the Netherlands as all moderns are 12 volt. A very helpful assistant at the auto factors I visited did locate a 12/6 volt charger for me but the price was very expensive around £85.00 in Stirling. To get me out of the fix I bought it .A Batium all singing all dancing with micro processor. It was expensive and normally would never pay that much however it is the best charger I have ever had. You cannot accidentally connect it the wrong polarity because it won't work then, it has a battery de sulphuring mode and each time you charge a battery it analysis it before it starts to charge.
