6 volt sla charger question

[F.O.Bean]

FWIW, i think ecocharge gets a lot of shit sometimes...if yall havent owned any eco stuff, its highly recomended, i can leave a batt on charge for 3 years if i want w/ no worry of overcharging/whatnot.....i am a huge eco fan.....i have 3 batts and 2 chargers(one of which i need to sell)

very nice stuff, to say the least...im toomcu of a stoner to worry about pulingbatss...thats the LAST thing i wanna do!!!

As can I with my homebrew SLAs.

That said, I do think Ecocharge provides value:

[1] labor for those unwilling/able to do it themselves
[2] the circuitry to reduce waste in the 12V/6V combo harness

I happen to think learning to solder and create your own SLAs, cables, etc.  is a useful skill everyone should at least attempt and saves money taboot.

Obviously.  Your post speaks to that!  But Bean...think about how much more weed you could've bought and smoked with the money you saved by building your own SLA setups!

i know, im just weird about soldering any kind of actual power source!!plus, ive talked to a pretty respectable guy on this board, and he said his homemades have leaked in his bag, all over his shit, and thats w/ powersonics, sooo, THAT makes me nervous!!!

i agree about saving money, but w/ the money we spend on gear, whats a few hundred bucks on quality equipment???ya know

while this thread is still active, i wanted to throw this out there:

i have 2 oade 3mah sla's. i use one to power sbm-1 and d8, and the other to power an mp-2. i have a cable with 2 sony size power couplings on one cable which i hooked up to one sla, and i have an mp-2 type connector hooked up to the other sla.

i was thinking of connecting both batteries together, and then making 1 cord out of the two to power all three devices.

any thoughs for or against this idea?

thanks

Why?  How do you feel this would improve your current setup, what benefits would this provide beyond your current arrangement?

while i have made my own, i still like the eco-design. if only they made larger capacities like 12ah for example, i would probably buy from them again. yet now, with a ua5 and a d8, i really have no use for my sla's and may be thinking about unloading my 3 batts and 2 chargers......
