hmm you guys are still using battery chargers to charge your batteires? that's so old school.

for the past 2 years i've used a DC power supply with adjustable voltage and amperage outputs. works waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than any car charger ever has. I even got my battery to rest at 14.1v after i trained it with the DC power supply.

Set the charging voltage to 15.5v and let her charge, take it off the charger and boom 14.1v floating. This takes time ofcourse for the battery to stretch but i dont think you could do this with a regular car charger.

Power supplies hooked to batteries works great on my test bench //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yes Jacob, you are right. The power supply that i used was initially intented for such things as bench tests or powering up mobile audio devices when they are out of the vehicle. As I had discovered it worked amazingly for charging batteries.

You just need to find out that puts out enough amperage to charge the battery in timely manner.
