!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I make the claim that it is the best battery charger you can buy for under $100.

This time I show you the Digital 400's big brother the Digital 1200. I show you what you get and how it works.

just get a Digital 400, a 1200 is overkill. A 400 is almost overkill.

Yeah a 400 is all a weekend warrior needs. I’ve had one since 2016 in some capacity.

I drove only 40 miles in my M3 all of April. So many cars are sitting right now.

yeah lets drive our non rustproofed cars in the winter.

also running to charge up a low battery is a good way to burn out an alternator.

I can’ tell you how many times in the past two years I’ve had to use my charger, and both my wife and I drive to work every day (or used to).

i bought a trickle charger. I think it was dis continued so it was marked down from somthing like $60 to $30. IT rang up as $ 0.05. The guy said I’ve had enough shit today, i dunno how to fix that, just give me a nickel.

Which was an upgrade from the 12v 1 amp Linksys wall wart I had been using previously.

How long are the cables for multiple cars?

I bought an optima in 2013 just when the 400 came out and got one for free. Very happy but am looking for something with a bit more juice in the event the battery gets drawn down.
