ROLEXrifleman Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hey guys, Picked up some AGM's from one of the guys on the forum here a few months back and haven't used them yet.

hdorre Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 CTEK and XS are the big dogs imo.. I run a ctek 4.3. On Amazon, it was just under $60. I LOVE the thing. I couldn't justify spending $200 or $300 for either of the XS chargers.. When a $60 charger does everything I need to PERFECTION. The ctek brought up my resting voltage on my old batts by ~.23v to 12.77v. It was something like that. I can look for my post in my old BL.

Kyblack76 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 If your looking for a nicer one than Dorre posted above, (all of which are very very nice and would do the job fine) I love love love my XS1005. i love it... DO NOT get the 1215. I hated that charger. I really really like the SUPPLY chargers XS has out now. The new black ones. Cool display, small footprint, and really really nice looking.And can be like a inverter. Pretty neat. (i really like the display, i wish i had one of em onboard, with that display in the dash or arm rest.... its cool lookin lol) SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROLEXrifleman Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 From what i read about he Ctek and the NOCO genius they are nothing more than battery tenders and not chargers. they don't even function on dead batteries. If that's the case would a battery Tender Plus do the same thing? http://batterytender.com/battery-tender-plus-12v-at-1-25a.html Rolex you sicken me.

If that's the case would a battery Tender Plus do the same thing? http://batterytender.com/battery-tender-plus-12v-at-1-25a.html IMO battery tander plus would do the same as the two you just mentioned. That being said I got the NOCO genius 7.2 amp for like 90 bucks. You can go to you local Menards and get the 3.5 right off the shelf. Same as the Ctek but cheaper. With the amount of batteries you are running the Battery tender plus would prolly work just fine if you did choose to go that route. Snowdrifter here on the forums has a lot to say about this subject though so you should wait for him. I would like the XS chargers but they are spendy. I run 10 XS power batts. on my NOCO 7.2 amp takes a while though but they are charged by 2 - 370 amp hairpin alts on a regular basis. But I still like to plug them in over night. 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

For a variety of reasons http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/microprocessor-controlled+battery+charger-maintainer.do Since it charges and then maintains what would you suggest if using it for a maintainer over night, 2A or 10A? Does it matter how many batteries even if it's over night?
