Where I use this battery it has a build in charger. The one on amazon "Sealed Lead Acid Battery Charger UPG D1724" should work fine. It is only $8.29. http://www.amazon.com/Sealed-Battery-Charger-UPG-D1724/dp/B001G8AIMU/ref=pd_bxgy_p_img_z

Can't answer the charger questionbut I used this battery for my home alarm system and it charges up once it was plugged into the alarm system after several hours was at full capacity.

If you are looking for an External battery charger, then I went ahead and bought this: External Battery Charger for Dell Inspiron 1525, 1526, 1545 Series Laptop BatterySold by Top Power The first one that came was damaged but it only took a matter of an email and a phone call before they sent me a brand new one- no shipping fee incurred on my behalf. Its a great battery- I just ordered another 9 cell to charge while the other one is in use. Hope this was relevant

It works fine for any size battery. A slower charge is better for the battery as it creates less heat. If you are not in a rush this will work fine. For your battery, it will take it from a state of charge of 50% t0 90% in under 5 hours and will have it topped off by 7 hours or so. I like this charger so well, I'm buying two more. One to put a winter maintenance charge on all my equipment batteries, and one as a permanent install on a car. I have the 10 Amp version which I'm also very pleased with. I use in to charge my boat battery which is a little small but I'll be swapping it out for two larger batteries. It works fine for any size battery.

No, it is not. But I found, after reading other comments, that this battery charger 'does' overload if you run it continually--charging four more batteries right after the first four have completed a charge. I had some of the same problems as the others, but after I tested an idea, I found that it's best to give the unit a few hours break after I've charged four batteries. Then you can start the unit again and it will charge perfectly.

Hi BorisAn interesting question. I looked up under this link:http://battery-charger-review.toptenreviews.com/sony-quick-charger-review.htmlLook at the top ten review there.Have not tried any of those . I got the same problem so I use 2 chargers and just charge an extra.

Sorry for the first "short" answer. These batteries are so crappy that the best charger in the world won't do better to make up for their less than advertised capacity (in my experience) and poor performance in a small digital camera. If your going to spend more money get eneloops.

Any charger that will discharge, charge, and read the actual voltage in the battery is the best, rather than just a quick charge from whatever state they are in. Slower is better (less heat). Higher quality chargers will read each battery independantly, and let you charge a single battery. Some cheap chargers must be used in pairs.

If you have an appropriate charger to accommodate all four at once, go for it. If not, charge one, two, three at a time. My charger allows all four at once, or otherwise. Even allows charging of different sized rechargables ! Read the specs on your charger, as I'm assuming that yours is like mine.

Forest, I I don't know. I have 4 18volt Haticha batteries, but 2 different series. This charger only partially charges. I mean it lasts for about 3 minutes. I think we mave bee duped.

I would contact Pulsetech directly on this, but not sure you would get the full benefit. Another option is to get the charger with quad connection. Will let you keep 4 batteries on pulse/charge at one time.

My application is different, 2 trolling motor batteries, 1 starting/accessory battery. The charger will charge all 3 batteries to full after heavy use in 1 evening, batteries are Optima Blue tops.

I also use the Titanium 16 bay charger it's great and has Led bars to show charging process and will also show if a batterie is at it's life end . Btw those batteries are the best out there !

That's what I'm using one of them for. Works well, but make sure you get yourself a 2.1amp charger. You'll thank me later.

Yeah, but with only a 6 amp charge rate, it might take a while. The charger does work well, though. I use it for my 27 series cranking battery in my boat, which I never run all the way down. The two deep cycle batteries that run my trolling motor use a charger that has 15 amps per bank.

All 4 of my chargers are set for 4.2v. I have had NO problems at that setting But, always charge new batteries as soon as you get them. I charge all my batteries, any size in it. The charger is automatic , stops charging at the correct voltage. George

Hi Dan...I bought the charger to analyze some 14.4 volt batteries from an unknown source. Here's what I said in my review: "It handles the batteries OK but the chargers autopsy pronounced them unresponsive. The next challenge is to find a battery replacement. Hitachi makes one that appears to have the right electrical tabs but I have to see it in person before I'm sure it's the right one." It is a "universal" charger which means a number of batteries from 14 to 18 volts fit the slots. I don't know what batteries Harbor Freight use in their tools but I bet they are some of China's "best". Their web site was no help....

Any 12 volt AGM charger should charge your battery bank. The calculation that you need to consider is how fast you want the battery bank to charge and size your charger appropriately. Yes, this charger has a battery type mode to accommodate AGM battery types. Looking around on the internet, this battery charger on its highest setting of 70A should charge your bank of batteries in 14-18 hours.
