All my battery chargers are old and worn. What is on the market for a portable, 12-volt, around 30-amp charger for race usage?

We've killed so many consumer 12v battery chargers over the years. I started replacing them with the XS 12/14/16v charger. I'll probably switch to 16v batteries when the 12s need replacing.

In fact I bought a second XS 12/14/16v charger for the batteries in my motor home. It's the best charger I've ever owned.

Jeff Heffler is now selling a 12v/16v made in USA charger through Pro 1 Safety.

I've been using the XS charger for two years now. I'm still on 12 volts and really don't plan on changing but I have the right charger if I do.

Dennis is it a smart charger or will it charge a completely dead battery because I’m getting sick of all the smart chargers

It's microprocessor controlled charger. Luckily I haven't had a dead battery in a long time to find out.

I have been using a Battery Tender 15A charger on my 12v AGMs for the last 5 years or so.

Just bought 2 completely dead LA batteries back to life over the weekend.

Just have to hook the dead one up to a good battery first.
