battery charger

[Mart]

What I do know is that my modern charger won't charge a dead flat battery. I have to rock out one of my old jobs and that will get it going.

now you've got me wondering if companies that manufacture battery chargers also make batteries.

i'm SUCH a skeptic...i know.

I totally agree Mart,but on my '37 i had a problem with the gen. cutout it let the brand new 6volt battery go flat.hooked my fairly old maintainer (maybe 10 yrs old) the batt would not re spond with chargeing.kept throwing the red indicator light so i tried to fool it and kept un plugging the maintainer and connecting it. to fool maintainer like some one had said on the barn and it worked it brought batt back to full charge. then put the new gen. cutout on and all was good. as a side note these gen. coutouts are hard to find at most of the suppliers and even maybe still. mind you the ones i bought are listed are for 8n ford tractors by implement dealers are sold on amazon or walmart online. they are inexspensive and a crap shoot offshore product,but the only choice. after taking apart the original cutout and soldering one wire and adusting the points inside the cutout that worked for awhile then i tried the 8n cutouts which like i had said. thought this might help some of you guys.
