Or the 6v/12v switch was in the wrong position and the battery would not charge or was killed.
Or the old charger going at 16 volts was left on too long.
Or the shorted battery with low voltage would charge up just fine until it exploded.
For all you guys the old stuff is generally fine. For the common user the modern charger will help them stay out of trouble.
And if all are so good about batteries how does the voltage get so low that the modern charger does not start? Stuff happens right? Same stuff happens when the 16 volts is applied.... pick your poison.
