Small battery charger

[SpeakerBoy 64]

I recently bought a motorcycle battery, to power a small kenwood 4ch amp. It is rated for 12v/160ca/12aH

What is a decent budget charger? I was looking at the Kinetic Three-stage, but i don't have $109

Could i use a regular car charger on the 2amp charge setting?

If you still have it after the holidays, I might have to get that (Christmas money ) Does it have a 1amp, 1.5amp, or at least a 2amp charge rate?

My battery manual says 1amp is best, and NOT to charge at over 2amp

it has 2amps, 8amps and 12amps. and it is one of those smart one where it charges at a 13.4volt (so it has some regulator on it) and when your battery is full it turns off!!

Ahhh sweet. Do you have a pic, just for curiosity?

I am borrowing a 2amp charger for a few weeks form a friend, but it's ollllld. A smart charger would be perfect for overnighters.

i don't have a pic on me of it and my camera is in windsor lol. let me see after i am done school i will grab my aunts camera and snap a picture of it and post it up.

the only thing i noticed about it is when charging more then one battery at once it will act up and not charge both of them and jsut 100% so you would have to charge one at a time and i got some more info to charge multi batteries at once in my inbox.

I think you get a little bonus with currency difference

Do you wire the batteries together to charge multiples?

umm i just had the batteries in parrel with each other so i contact the company and they told me how to put it into 2amp charging mode with no auto off! but that is all i knwo. so for multi batteries just do one at a time lol! but since you have a smaller battery! and jsut one of them!
