I have a 6 amp charger we sold at the dealership. It is made by international electric co. or something like that. Bought it in 1965 when my car would not start after a blizzard. I have it on a battery right now out in the garage. I used to repair chargers that we sold. Who ever said the over use of the boost feature is the problem is right on. It fries the rectifiers. Replaced a lot of them. I agree the new chargers are built very light and some don't work right out of the box, but using them properly has a great deal to do with their life. If the needle goes to the end of the dial, back off. Do something differently. I don't like automatic shutoff types as they merely read the voltage and shut off when reaching that set voltage. If you are working on a stubborn battery, sometimes you just have to keep pushing in a few amps to bring it around. And, again, most people do not charge to full charge. If they get their machine going, they say that is good. Bad for batteries when you do that. Never rely on the machine to complete the charge unless you are intending to run it continuously for a day or two. Once your machines regulator limits the max voltage, very few amperes are being put into the battery. A 100 ampere hour battery requires 100 hours charging at one amp. or 20 hours charging at 5 amps.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
