That's exactly the one I got. I must have gotten the bad apple in the bunch because it got good reviews. Just my luck.

I sent it back and bought the Clore charger that my56chevytruck recommended. Fingers crossed.

I'll still be on the hunt for what I had as a kid. And no Bill my brother will not sell it to me or anyone else. My brother is not a friendly person. He rarely ever even speaks to me or anyone else. He's always been that way.

This is the charger we had as kids. Same color and everything.I'm sure my brother still has it but I aint asking.

Sorry, couldn't upload a picture. these are a great value and has worked for years.

I looked this one up on line after I read your post. I went to my local NAPA and bought one yesterday afternoon, hooked it up on the '39 Ford battery and this morning it was all charged up and on standby. I am going to put it on the '03 Suburban this afternoon. It is bigger than I thought it was going to be, and seems to be well made.

Thanks for the heads up on this one.

I have 2 of these. This one is at the beach house. It's been around for awhile. It's still going though. I had it about 4-5 years. I use it all the time on 6 volt cart batteries to build them up before putting them on the cart charger.

Mine just arrived. I haven't tried it yet because it's snowing and I might melt if I go outside.

They always told me there were two main things that melt when they get wet and one of them is sugar. I'm guessin' that's you....

I fall into the other category.

Like many things made today there is no need for electronics in them. It would be cheaper to make the old way but it would last. Novel idea.

Yep, same with my new that lasted 6 month before the display went dead and no damn fuse inside, just new digital crap..
