    I did a search and didn't see anything.
    I bought an old ford that is 6 volt and so I need a charger that will do both.

    I want to spend $75 - $120 tops. Buy one that will last but not break the bank.

    What are you guys using and what features are more important?

    Thanks, Joe

    Check the flea markets. Many of the old ones had both 6 & 12 V. You should be able to get a good one for less than $10.00. Good Luck

    +1...older stuff like that just seems to be built more robust...my dad still uses his dads from the 60s, i picked one up just like it from a garage sale for 10 buck. I like those battery tenders for batteries that sit a wile without much use.

    I just bought a 6 -12 volt 40a charger from horrible frieght for around $80 shipped. Its a cart style with 2 wheels. Look it up on thier site.Ive used it a couple times already and it workd good. I bought it not for a charger, but to be used as a power supply for my electrolytic deruster because it will make 40a at 6v, and its a "dumb" charger (does not taper off).
