[AT] 6 volt desulphating chargers

[Dave Merchant]

I bought one of the $89  6v/12v/start/desulphate ones tonite.

Won't be able to try it till Monday, I have a couple really dead ones to 
start with.

I figure it needs to salvage 1 car battery or 2 tractor batteries to pay 
for itself.

Wally had quite a few of the $89 ones, a few of the $60 12V only ones,
and an empty shelf where the cheaper ones should have been.

The Schumachers are made in Mexico, the Vectors are from China. Your choice...
