What Smart charger do I need?
I'm trying to charge 2 Sams Club gc2 golf batterys. I currently have a Shumacher SC8020a battery charger. I charge em a couple hours a day with not much success. They charge good from Alternator...

First, you need a 120v power source that can run whatever charger you get. Generally, you need EG a Honda 1000 for up to a 45 amp charger, or a Honda 2000 for up to a 60 amp charger. But if the charger is PF- corrected, a 75 amper will draw the same 120 as a non-PF 60 amper.
So, for a pair of 6s (that can take 70-80 amps just fine for Bulk, BTW) you can use this 75 amper as a portable charger if you have a Honda 2000 equivalent to run it.

BFL13 I just wanted to say Thanks , I bought the Powermax 75 and really really like it , Thanks for the recommendation.
OK you are now the Official Guinea Pig for running the PowerMax 75 amper with a Honda 2000. Please confirm that it runs at 75 amps for a time (bulk stage) at around 14.8v on the Honda 2000 as power supply without the Honda conking out. And do you have to start with eco-off and then turn eco on or can you get away with an eco on start up from cold? Thanks.
