Re: [DML] Battery Chargers

[Chris Shepherd <chrisau79@xxxxxxxxx>]

Aaron, I've got a NAPA 85-300A mounted permanently where the light in the engine compartment used to be. It shuts down when the battery is fully charged so I just leave it plugged in at all times when I'm not driving much. I've had it for about 3 years and no problems at all. Unplug it, tuck the pigtail in, close the hatch and drive away.

          Hey all,

Even though the winter here in NY has been extremely mild, I have 
'winterized' my delorean. While only owning my car for a couple of 
years, I am now very exposed to the pitfalls of the battery not being 
used frequently. I'd say this was the year of the jump start for 
me. Well I think one season is enough and I've decided to find a 
suitable car charger that I can use when the spring comes around.

I have an Exide battery from PJ Grady's. I don't know anything about 
batteries except that. I was checking out Amazon and saw one that is 
a good seller and got good reviews. It is the Schumacher SSC-1000A 
charger. It looks good and isn't expensive at $49.99. I'd like to 
know what you guys think and if this isn't good, please post an 
alternative.

Any help you guys can give, would be much appreciated. Once I have 
this down, I can focus on the potential hot start problem I 
encountered late this year.

Thanks!
