Re: battery tenders & chargers
I use this from Harbor Freight;
Attachment 3076
Found here; http://www.harborfreight.com/automat...ger-42292.html
So far it's been working for me. I use it on two batteries. I just move the clips from one to the other every week or so. And guess where it's made.......?

The rest is chip controlled so I have no idea from this if it is three stage or not! You speak the language, you could email them and ask?
Re: battery tenders & chargers
Please note, this is not for use if you have or get an AGM battery.

Re: battery tenders & chargers
Thanks, HB. That looks like a solid charger. I'm quite skeptical about those little electronic ones, with very think wires and cheap circuitry. Batteries and electricity are mysterious things!
by the way, where are you based?
cheers
Re: battery tenders & chargers
have a look over at our friends place and explore these new batteries, available technology changing all the time!

Re: battery tenders & chargers
Thanks, Jape. I'm holding off on buying a new battery for now. I expect mine has some life in it yet. Just frustrated that I don't have the means to give it a good deep charge.
I talked to the folks who sell the charger that humanbeing pointed out, and expect to have one by Thursday. will keep you posted.
cheers

HK born. Roots from Zhongshan (Fujian acutally hundred yrs ago :eek2:). Mother tongue is "mixed language" called Longdu, so had advantage understand other souther in "native" talk. Ride w/o DL in mainland when working there yrs ago. Current HK bike is Honda CBF150 still on "scarlet P" (Midlife crisis... makes me re-think & take that "pain" DL test finally. )

When will we meet that "lab rat" here? :lol8:
Re: battery tenders & chargers
OK, got it. So at least you are in our (China) time zone. Do you ever get up to Shanghai? Would be great to meet.
Longdu sounds like a very unusual dialect. Surely your Cantonese is excellent, but can you also understand the Northern and Southern Min dialects in Fujian and Taiwan? I have friends in Fujian who complain they cannot undertand Min dialects in the next village, much less the next county. Min must rank is one of most opaque language groups on earth.
As for those batteries -- whew! 4000 rmb for a battery!!! -- I really think that all I need is a good charge....
cheers

For example "ti" or "tu" are BOTH correct 4 "Pig" . IF u don't know other form... :naughty: Common mixed form :Amoy/ Generic Taiwanese used in city - very EASY. My old man luv watching those "boring" Taiwanese TV drama.
Other example "#116" "blog" support it.
