Cheap maintainer destroyed my battery
Put a HF "Automatic" charger on my TT battery. After 3 months it has destroyed my battery. All the water boiled out due the charger putting out 20v. Is there any way to save it? Should I have jus...

My small HF maintainer is a 750mA charger. It is the style that the entire black box plugs into the wall. I think I paid $19 for it. They had smaller, but they looked even cheaper and I wanted more charging power. I looked at the Battery Tender brand and for the same mA rating it was around $50. Looking closely and doing some research I found that the 2 are basically the same with different stickers on them.
I also have a Stanley brand 1.5mA maintainer for my Excursion. It has worked flawlessly also. I tried one of the Schumacher ones and it kept resetting to a bad battery after a couple days. Turns out that is a huge complaint from anyone that bought one of those! I returned the Schumacher for the Stanley and have no issues.
