Harbor Freight $7.99 float chargers:

You don't say! Have you ever measured their voltage? Or is it written
on the case?


I never had, so I went out (to the garage; brrrr!) and measured one:
13.58 volts. FWIW, the wallwart says "15VAC at 600 ma", but there's a
little plastic box on the wires between the wart and the battery clips.

================================================== ========

Now we're getting somewhere. Myron said 15VAC at 600 ma. C/100 is
about 700 mA. Any idea what's inside the little voltage adjustment box?
