I go from not having any battery chargers to three!
This is the latest I just received in the mail from family!
Pretty sweet!
A Schumacher SC-1200A 2 -8-12 amp fast charge battery charger.
Came in a blow molded case with a 75 watt 110-115 volt inverter,
three wrenches, and a battery terminal cleaner.

(This link doesn't show the case or the other goodies though.)
These came as well!
Two day/night (Infrared) weatherproof security camera's!

All I have to get now is a small LCD monitor/DVD player so I
can hook them up in the Heep!
I think I'll mount one as a rear view "Backup camera" and one underneath
the Rig (In a home made waterproof, destruction-proof housing)so I can
spot large obstacles that might get in the way when wheelin'!
(I'm sure the quality isn't the greatest, but what ever!
They didn't cost me anything!)

Ryan, Just check the output voltage on another battery before you connect that one to KJ
It may have over 16 volts going out on that one in 8amp or other modes, as it is more a manual type, not intelligent charger.
Over 15 volts is not good for BCM on KJ.
The one I gave you is an intelligent charger and is safe to use on KJ. (I tested it)

So is the Schumacher SC-1200A.
Say's so both on the charger and in the instructions.

Yeah, over 15 volts (I think it is 15V) continuous charge will also boil the electrolyte in the battery but that one says it tapers the charge so all should be ok.

Ryan, with any new charger you should check the output just to be sure, as the BCM is sensitive.
I read a review on your model and there were 2 complaints of overcharging and not turning off, boiling the battery.
Just a heads up ..double check yours.
