forgot guys on a budget cannot fork out that kind of money and don't support that brand because of past issue. just need to know if a craftsman or anything heavy duty will work?

the 24 volt craftsman won't. Its made for charging boat batteries in series.

Snap On makes an 16/18 volt charger for about 700 bucks

buy the Powermaster for less then half the price...

The snap on charger can go up to to like 100 amps though lol

going with the craftsman 225amp charger after talking with others and i also remembered we used a 100amp charger before when i was with Concept and it worked fine. $90.00 for a floor model can't beat that.

To me batteries are a big investment. They can make or break your system. I personally wouldnt go cheap now. I would hate to know that a 90.00 charger ruined thousands of dollars worth of batteries.

But hey thats just me. I could be wrong.

then why did you ask if a certain charger will do the job? If you are in the biz then you should know what will and wont work properly. No offense.
