I don't think the 1200 is made anymore. The only Optima battery charger I can find new is the 400. Edit: Just checked Summit Racing and they show they are backordered until the end of April. | |||

I called BatteryMart about this in regard to an Odyessey battery. Naturally they wanted to sell me a $180 charger. I found this article informative. http://www.hotrod.com/articles...harge-a-agm-battery/ | |||

Dave, I use 10 amp on mine between rounds, as the water pump and fan cool it off, then leave it on for a few minutes more. 10-15 minutes tops, never had an issue. My buddy and I share use of his charger, think it's a Craftsman, 2/10/50 options on it.

Update for those who care. Got a Optima charger yesterday and this thing is awesome. Funny when you open the Positive clip a light come on so you can see in the dark , plus it has a tiny red light to let you know its the positive lead......LOL All kinds of extra features making it a great product . Old charger would click off when it got to .7 amp this keeps working till its below .2 amp... Got it Monday so race I'll see how is works at the track in a week or two, and report back then ... HAVE THEY CALLED US YET ? THEY HAVE!!! | |||

I hope you get better life out of the Optima charger than I did. Bought one from Jegs, after a few months of sitting inside the garage hooked to the race car the LCD display stopped working. Called Optima, they repaired it under warranty. After getting it back it worked OK in the garage. 1st time I took it to the track the display went grey again. Called Optima, was told they will only repair once under warranty even though it wasn't even a year old, basically I was SOL. The lady I spoke was very nice but said her hands were tied, that was company policy. She told me off the record this was an inherent issue with the 1200 displays, they can't handle direct sunlight and heat. The charger still works but is a PITA not having the display. I went back to using my trusty 25 year old Craftsman charger at the track. | |||
