What did you do to your Hellcat today?

I know, I know. It's not that yours don't work for you, but for one, they don't work as well as a good maintainer does.

More importantly, to me anything electrical from HF is scary, and I have several smoked angle grinders to back that statement up. I do have multimeters from HF, but they aren't connected to 110 V.

As you know, I'm a firm believer in desulfation, having used BatteryMINDer, PulseTech, and Canadus products for decades. So even if your HF units are working and haven't caught on fire yet, they are still lacking that important feature.

Come to think of it, maybe I should send you one of my BatteryMINDers so you'll have a better chance of your Kubota battery (and those are very good batteries) last as long as my oldest one has?

So your answer is no, you have no data/evidence that there are any problems with the HF float charger. It took me a long time to learn that if you find something that works, stick with it.

I have and still use HF products I bought in the 80's. Back in the day, they would mail 3 11x17 sheets folded into a letter envelope, and you would call in the order.

I have a $40 name brand angle grinder and a $10 HF angle grinder, both work fine.

At least half of what HF currently sells is inferior and/or more expensive than major brands, just do due diligence to know what you are buying and make the right choice. Not difficult.

And if you come across info that a HF product is bad (or good), please share, I'd like to think we help each other here.
