I have a 6A Schauer 6/12 V charger that my mom and I got for Dad with
Regal stamps about 50 yrs ago. It works great. I have cut off and
resoldered both cords and both clamps. (Dad liked to wrap the cords
tight around the charger) It has been sun into with tractors and
straightened, but it

Well then, you'll need these.

So really the only thing the big wheel charger would be for is to boost
and jump start cars, otherwise the small HF unit will probably work,
which is better for cars that are not sitting in the shop. I am
probably going to go back and pick up a least a couple more of them.

Too-rapid recharging is not conducive to battery longevity. I believe
that's the big reason that the 8-10A top rate is so common.
My Shauer (?) automatic charger, which I use ALL the time, is still working
great. After at least 25 years. Sears, I think. Wish I could find
another one.

So I have my 5 or so year old Schumacher manual wheel charger that has 2
amp, 20 amp, 40 amp, and 225 amp start. I bought a smaller carry model
Schumacher fully automatic one a couple of years ago that worked fine.
I cant recall what amps it had but I think it was 2, 20, and 75. So a

I would like if any one is using the high frequency or pulsed type

There are two panels on top that might be access to add water, but they are
flush with the top of the battery, which leads me to believe that they are
not intended to be removed.

You need to open
electrolyte level goes down on discharge and back up when fully charged. A
constant low level can also warp the plates in the battery. NAPA sells a
real neat automatic 20 amp charger, leave it on and it will not boil the
battery dry, however you need at least 4 volts in the battery for it to
work.
Just a wild guess, but if you keep the electrolyte level up, there
shouldn't be a problem?
Haven't you converted to parallel glow plugs and Mobil1? Why are you
leaving a charger on overnight? Old battery?

Well, you CAN overcharge a battery and that can be just as bad as
discharging it completely.

You will be overcharging the battery. You will lose water, and
eventually you can overheat the battery or swell the plates inside up
and crack them. Overnight isn't too bad, but why don't you just toss
out the $90 or so and get an automatic charger -- unless to fry it
somehow, it should last

I think the correct answer is, it depends on the charger. The problem
with leaving a cheap charger on--if it keeps pumping juice into the
battery--is that the battery will continue to gas or boil. Over time,
the electrolyte level will lower eventually dry out and destroy the
battery.
If the charger is automatic, like most are, the current will go to near
nothing when the battery voltage reaches the set value. If you notice that
the battery gets very warm when you leave the charger on, you are boiling
off water and the battery will get dry. Other than that it will be OK to

what can happens is the
