[AT] 6V chargers - repost

[dglass]

Yes, its brand new.  I noticed it wasn't listed on their website.  I 
think, like some other sites for commercial products, they leave the old 
products on the site until the inventory is cleared.  I cannot imagine 
buying the old style after using one of these. I am keeping my old 
chargers for rust removal only.  They are called Schumacher Speedcharge 
Smart charger with advanced control technology. I have bought several 
off ebay. Here is a small one on ebay.
