I upgraded to four 6V batteries. Now, with 440 Amp-hour capacity, the little 45 Amp charger takes entirely too long to charge them. I am thinking that I should put in a 80 or 100 amp charger.
Progressive Dynamics is the brand that I see mentioned most frequently. The Powermax PM4 series are also 4 stage chargers with similar characteristics and are significantly less expensive. Does anybody know anything about them? Are there other brands worth considering? Other than Amazon or ebay, who carries a decent selection of them?
I haven't checked yet, but I suspect that I will also need to increase the size of the wires to the batteries. The charger is located under the frig, almost directly over the axles. The batteries are in the front bay. If I do need heavier wire, running it will become a tough job.
Am I overlooking anything?
