[TenTec] Battery charger (power supply Hercules II)

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Those all work if they have good voltage regulation to not overcharge 
the batteries, but the low current chargers and battery tenders probably 
won't keep up with conversational use of the amp. Maybe with DX chasing 
where transmissions are very short and there's a long gap between them. 
During a rag chew or domestic contest I'm pretty sure the 10 amp may not 
keep up, the lower current chargers have no chance at all and the life 
of the batteries is longest if discharged the least.
