Battery Charger

I guess I bought mine just in time. :)

About 6 weeks ago from Boat & RV.

At about twice the price they once sold for. :(

Still, I'm glad to have it.

Thanks for posting this.

I have always been a fan of Vector chargers. I have not bought one in years and just figured out that in 2006, Black & Decker purchased Vector Products, Inc.

The B&D VEC1093DBD has been discontinued. The web site does show a 25 amp charger Model #BC25BD. It appears that it is not yet available.

The picture shows one that goes to 40a with 110 engine start. Only has a "recondition button", not seeing an Equalize button? That would make them more like the older Vec1093A model instead of the D models

The Stanley seems to say it picks its own charging amps rate, which I would not like. I would want to pick that.

The Schus are just weird according to some reports on here about their charging profiles.

Not a lot to choose from.

They pop up here and there. Just have to keep your eyes open for them.

Which is likely why they're no longer available. ;)

Sorry to hear about the VEC1093DBD 40AMP smart mode portable charger not being available anymore. I have had one for a long time and someone gave me another one for working on some things for him. One of my two units is currently being used by my son-in-law...

Lowes is selling a Stanley BC4009 40 amp charger for about $65.

Here's a link: Stanley charger

As I understand it, the VEC1093DBD hasn't been in production in quite a long time. That's why finding one is hit or miss.
