Battery Charger

After being sued a few times for damage being done by their charger from miss-use by some fool, the legal department comes into play and all the higher powered chargers (i.e. 40 or more amps) disappear from the market.

It probably isn't the 40 amps that may have made them "dangerous" to ancillary equipment in the wrong hands. It's more likely the high 14's to low 15's voltage that those chargers could go up to that was the cause of component and circuit breakdowns, as they probably weren't clamped at a high of, say, only 14.6 volts.

I'm curious as to whether those old B&D chargers were power factor corrected? If so, I'd sure like a 30 amp version to use with my little 650 watt generator for dedicated battery charging.
