Sometimes forums really annoy me. This is one of those times. Basic chargers are fine but they don't have some features that the more expensive ones have. I've been able to recover batteries with my recon feature that a standard charger couldn't do.
People buy the type that's suits them, just like the cars we drive. If some want to use their 35 year old chargers and risk fires and damage to their cars, then fill your boots. I've seen the results of chargers failing or overcharging batteries, one time almost caused a fire on one of the tenders on the yacht were I work. Also batteries can vent toxic gases if they are over charged. None of these issues I'm willing to risk as I leave my vehicles.
So laugh all you want chuckles, but if you start a thread called 'my garage burned down' then I'll be sure to say I told you so.
