    Subject: Re: Walmart battery charger.
    Bob, I checked the local Walmart and they have the model Schumacher Model XM1-5 charger. It is advertised as a 6 and 12 volt 1.5 amp charger/maintainer. The 1562A looks like it has the same specs and is available to order on-line and pick up at the store. Any experience with the new model? I picked one up and put it on a 7 AH gell cell but don't get either a charging or charged LED. I'm not sure if I just have a bad one or if it doesn't have the same circuitry. The manual list "NR" for not recommended for batteries over 32 AH. I was planning to use it on the airplane and get one for a car. I can take this one back and order the 1562A. Any suggestions?

I wish I could offer some first hand info. I've seen that product on the shelves . . . and the 'specs' look good. But I've used the 1562 for years. Just did a site-to-store purchase of a new one a couple months ago. I performed as expected. As long as you're not in a hurry, the site-to- store thing is low risk. If you've got the time, I'd pay postage both ways to play with XM1-5 on the bench. Bob . . .
