Thinking about getting this one.

Hey Airbiscuit how’s that 100 amp jump start working for ya? I find it difficult to believe since that thing is so small. But a hundred amps ain’t much compared to a 600 amp cca battery

I have an AGM battery in my Hustler Raptor X lawn mower that needs charging. I've been told that a normal battery charger (Schumacher SC-600A) can't be used. What battery charger are you using for AGM batteries? Also, the battery in my Kioti DK4510 is getting weak, and I'm thinking of replacing it with an AGM battery. Any suggestions and/or issues?

NOCO from Walmart or Amazon. Super solid and reliable.

I have had two BatteryMinders fail, one that flatted a battery out.

Bummer. I probably have at least 10 BatteryMINDers by now, the oldest ones from the late '90s. Never an issue...so far.

Recently had a small NOCO kill a good battery, though.

What you have to understand is a battery is a chemical reaction, it will attempt to justify load (amperage output) no matter what it is till it implodes....

I have one of the CTEK chargers, which has the correct charging profile for AGM batteries and conventional ones. It automatically transitions to a maintainer once a battery is charged. Supposedly, it also has the ability to work miracles with discharged/neglected batteries. Overall, it seems to work well, so I'm happy.

For faster charging of a discharged battery, I'll hook up my several decades old Schumacher charger that keeps on tickin'.

I use a NOCO ten amp charger. It has some sensing capabilities for type of battery connected.

I really like my Genus 10

I don't have near 10, but I do have three BatteryMinders and haven't had any issues yet either!

Each of my 5 trailers has a battery, the only one with a solar charger is the fuel trailer. Some sit for an extended time without being used and are not near a plug for a charger. I just bought the Dewalt 4-amp charger/power pack that uses the 20V Dewalt batteries. Plan is to put it on a trailer and let it charge up. The charger indicates when it is a full charge. It is not a jump starter, just a trickle charger. No more dragging the big charger around or stretching extension cords.
