OK first Happy Thanksgiving. Now I have a truck camper with two 6 volt batteries. I need to purchase a battery charger the puts out at least 15 volts for equalization. Does anyone know which charger to buy? The batteries are sulphating and need to be cleaned up. In case you are interested they are Trojan T105's.

Well, in my case I use a circa mid 1970's noisy (rattling transformer plates) Craftsman 10a/50a charger booster that I've measured 15.2v output, and it does the trick just fine. Not sure though where to find a newer model with a 15> volt output.Best Regards,3 tons

Thanksgiving was back in October, but better late than never! :)Can't beat this one. I use it on my 6s and it even has temp comp.http://www.boatandrvaccessories.com/black--decker-vec1093dbd-12-volt-40-amp-battery-charger.html

I wonder if your unit can supply 11 amps constant AMPERAGE at oh, say. 15.2 volts BFL13?That, is the nominal equalization amperage for a 220 ampere hour battery.

Hi,What about the manual one Harbor Freight sells?manual charger
