I am trying to charge some 93-102ah batteries that have been sitting for a while. One is sitting at 8 and the other is around 10. I was trying to get something cheaper than ctek. I'm looking at this one and was wondering if it is any good? Schumacher Electric 15-Amp Battery Charger SC4 | eBay

Sears sometimes have a great deal on battery chargers..Being close to Christmas you might find a great deal? Schumacher is prob one of the best well known battery chargers around..AC Delco use to make a great one also.

I bought a schumaker with auto shut off for 80 bucks like 5 years ago,I have yet to have a problem. If you get a charger make sure it has some top of auto shut off or protection from overcharging. I had a cheap charger and blew up a battery some years ago from thinking it would cut off at full charge lol

my $40 schumaker has been charging my bank of 18 batts for 5+ years without an issue. With your batts at 8/10v you might need to wire in a batt resting at 12v+ to get the charger to kick off properly....
