I'd say your best bet would be to take this to "Fresh Water". This is for selling and buying items, wont get much response here.

This is the "Classified" section. "For Sale" or "Want to Buy"

BTW - Sears makes a very good battery. If you have alot of equipment(lights,radio,electronics etc..) on board think about 800 - 900+ amp marine battery.These are big heavy batterys.

I have 3 chargers. My best is a 2/10/60 amp. All these chargers have an automatic cycle feature. Once battery reaches full charge the charger will cycle on/off to prevent overcharge. A good multi duty charger runs about $40-50.

I can trickle charge battery for 12-16 hrs at 2 amp, or a quick 2-3 hr charge at 10 amp or a hot 60 amp jump start for my vehicles if battery craps out.

good luck
