Chicago verses Schumacher

[xsteamer]

Ok all you electrical experts out there I need some technical advice. What is the difference between battery chargers Chicago Model 93258 and Schumacher Model SE112S? I checked the specs and apart from an inny and an outy plug and the price $9.99 verses $30.99 they sound pretty much the same. I want one before I put the battery back in but the wife is in my ear saying you only get what you pay for. Advise please.

In this case I vote with the wife.

ditto... $30.99 is not very much for a battery charger, but $9.99 seems ridiculously cheap, maybe even too cheap. So cheap, I'd be willing to bet it's got China stamped on it; and we know what we think of China and tools...

My vote is with your wife as well. Buy the best, you want to have it for a long time.

I've had a $4.99 (on sale) HF trickle charger on my cycle for years, and it's it's kept the cycle battery in check. I can walk out to the shed any time of the year and start her up.

I used to get 2 years on a battery, but I've had this one 4-5 years.

I bought the 10 dollar HF one and it lasted 2 weeks
