Battery Charger ?
 
Looking for recommendations on a battery charger, for between rounds and at home. Also if any are North American made? Thanks in advance

for 12 volt I have a Black and Decker that I like. I bought it at Wally World. You know them well.
Its digital and has 40 amp charging capacity also engine start. I used it for the race car before I switched to 16V
Not sure where it was built.

The Moroso charger 74016 is a great charger as it will charge
every type of battery 12V and 16V. Fast 30 amp recharge plus
is a maintainer.
They aren't cheap and Rock battery sells the same model under their
name a bit cheaper than I've seen the Moroso. They also have free shipping.

I can highly recommend Rizk chargers. 100% made in the USA, built (and even looks) like its 1955. Its a true transformer type, very well regulating unit with no electronics nonsense. Very heavy copper leads, with stout alligators. Has been 100% reliable for umpteen hours so far, both at home and at the track.

After going through three made in China Schumacher, Travelers, and ____ (cant remember) units in less than two years. Someone on this forum actually, if im not mistaken, told me about Rizk. Small Family owned for decades and build a very solid unit. I got the P160. Massive amps on start/boost setting!!.... That thing will boost start my 1949 International Bulldozer !!!

Been meaning to buy the little brother to it for other home use...

Here is their website: http://usabatterychargers.com/

I like the way they look, old school style. When my 20ish year old Schauser dies, I'd buy one.

X2 on what Kevin said. I've actually started selling the Rizk chargers at my store. They are very high quality construction and MADE IN THE USA!

Thanks for the link. :cool: I was under the impression that only the new "smart" chargers could charge a AGM/Gel battery but it says on there site that it works on all batteries. I like the made in the USA also. :D
