Recommend a Manual Battery Charger

[projectslideway]

I'm looking to purchase a current production manual 12v charger that will charge a battery from a fully dead state and I'm having trouble finding one. The majority of these new computer controlled chargers won't recognize the battery to begin charging. I know you can always connect the dead battery to a good battery and charge them both but I'm tired of dealing with that inconvenience. Instead of going vintage on eBay, any good recommendations?

I have Associated US20. Good unit, I too got tired of the comp controlled other chargers. Got it off craigslist, used 3 times.

So the Ctek chargers won’t recondition and charge your battery back? Maybe your battery is shot? Never had an issue with Ctek

I guess I should just keep my 10A/60A Schumacher behemoth from the 1970s that I inherited. Doesn't complain, or ask questions, just works! Definitely not a "smart" charger. Weighs around 20lbs too!

If you want to charge a battery without issues yes keep it!
