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?

4 left in the US.


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

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

Given how few solid state components are made in the USA these
days...it wouldnt be surprising if some of the stuff came from Asia.

"MADE IN USA of US and Imported Parts" means they applied their
label, printed in Mexico, an a Chinese Charger and put it in a box
printed in India.


It could indeed mean that. Is it that way for sure? You have proof?

Nothing specific on that product - but that's about how loose the
regulations are.
