Sergeant_Skyrim Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hello, I literally looked at every forum section and tried asking myself if this thread would be best in that section but I couldn't find a single one. My XP3000 came in sooner than I thought (still waiting on wire) and I was just wondering if there was anybody around the USF Tampa area or maybe in central FL around where I live who had a battery charger I could borrow/use for my XP3000. I don't know if this is considered out of the ordinary for people to ask to borrow/use equipment, but I wouldn't mind paying somebody a bit for letting me use their equipment/time. Of course I wouldn't be taking it off your property or anything, would just need to charge up the 3000 a bit. Figured there wasn't any harm in asking, so hopefully somebody can come through and help a fellow basshead out! =) Quote Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Why not get a small charger to float it up like the battery tender? Less than $70 for the plus. What auto parts stores are near you?

Sergeant_Skyrim Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Why not get a small charger to float it up like the battery tender? Less than $70 for the plus. What auto parts stores are near you? Really? I was browsing the XS website when I was checking the battery out for the first time and saw their chargers were like mid $300's. Thought battery chargers would be expensive as all hell haha. What sort of charger should I be looking for then? I think the only ones around where I live back home are Autozone/Napa/Auto discount or something like that. Would a charger like that bring it up to 14.4 or 13.6v or whatever I should charge it to before installing? Quote Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant_Skyrim Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 The Autozone site is telling me that the charger isn't available in any of the 3 stores it's listed for me and isn't available for ship to home either lol. Guess that narrows it down Quote Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me no =( Is this not initially meant to be used for something like the XP3000, but works anyways? I really don't know much about batteries/chargers so bear with me please. And it's actually only 10 minutes away, good looking man Quote Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
