    I just picked up a Schumacher "dumb" battery charger at Tractor Supply. I did not know they still made them and grabbed it while I could.

    I found a brilliant video on youtube

    "Brilliant technique of lead acid battery restoration"

    a fellow in asia somewhere
    on a sidewalk
    takes apart batteries
    with a chisel
    and rebuilds them.
    He melts his lead in a wok.

    It's a good look inside a shorted battery.
    Don't try this at home

    I can't read the name on it anymore, so I don't know what brand?
    I've replaced the power cord and battery cables more than once, and I replaced the little meter/guage once.
    Still works great.

    I do have a 'tender' type charger for motorcycle gel-mat type batteries.
    I use a charger Father bought me back in the 60's.
    Had to paint it once.
    It's never failed me.
    Some unknown brand.
    Made in the USA when we still made things to last.
