John, Yea, I've heard good things about Schumacher chargers. I'm not a big fan of the smart chargers. The trend these days is to have everything "smart", heck I was looking at freezers the other day, its almost impossible to get one without some kind super fancy digital display on the door....I don't need that, I need something to keep the beef frozen....AAGH.

(sorry, got sidetracked)

Here's a pic of my old Christie. Since I got it working I gues I don't need to go out and buy anything new.
