Would anyone recommend some weatherproof charger, the "dumber" and
less sophisticated, the better. Thanks

I'm still using my dad's old 5A un-weatherproof louvered metal box.

I meant to add Schumacher Sure Fire 300, 3A, 6/12V from the '60s.
Original clamps, cord, analog meter, and everything.


Sadly, Shumacher has done like everyone else and gone to high feature
low quality Chinese-built crap.


Not quite everyone. Ig, maybe look for one of these?

I looked at Associated, their "maintainer" is made in China.


Their KS-401 was "MADE IN USA of US and Imported Parts". Hmmm...
