Paul, can you give a little more detail? Which Schauer did you use, and were
they reliable?

I like the looks of the 12v 5amp one here:

David,
I'm not so sure about a Vectra, as they don't list thorough specs on the
site. Though, they would be easy to get, and I do like the looks of a couple
of them:

have one that I may do some testing on, but I'm really looking for
something smaller that I can fit on my bike, and the 2 amp one just won't
cut it.

Bob,
ya I was really just about to buy 6 Soneils, but than I happen to glance at
their charging algorithm which holds the voltage at 14.4v (2.4 vpc) only
until the current tapers to 1/2 of the constant current. This is not low
enough unless I get a really small model like 1 amp. My battery spec sheet
charging graph indicates that the voltage should be held at 14.4-15v until
the current tapers to .35 amps. See here:

Seth,
Thanks for the offer, but I'm pretty set on getting 12v chargers. You might
want to post your chargers in the "Community Marketplace"-->"Sell" forum at
the V forums: visforvoltage.org.

Thanks for all the suggestions,
Andrew in Albuquerque, NM
