not neccasarily running,just powered up....i had a 72v streetcharger that i think was a waste of money!Originally posted by maniak2005@Dec 4 2008, 09:07 AM~12332320
yes it has to be runing for it to charge the batts
being under load has NOTHING to do with it.Originally posted by clairfbeeIII@Dec 4 2008, 09:18 AM~12332349
I have two for sale.... they work good if you drive the vehicle (under load)
Just starting your car and letting it idle will not charge them the way you want...

it will if you leave it on long enough........and again the car does not need to be started.
all it is ,is a battery operated battery charger, which is way overpriced<span style=\'color:blue\'> and far from worth it when the 1072 charger is so cheap and reliable</span> ........

well your right it dosent have to be runing but if its not runing you will kill your front (main) battery in about a 1/2 hr or so. but if your swanging hard it wont keep up. but if you drive alot and are easy on the switch it will do just fine. because its charge rate is only like 3-4 amps i think. it pulls up to 40. its a tricle charger while you drive. so it would depend on how you are on the switch.Originally posted by NY-BOSSMAN@Dec 4 2008, 10:20 AM~12332544

I KNOW HOW IT WORKS IVE OWNED THEM,AND THINK ABOUT HOW LONG IT TAKES TO CHARGE AT 2 AMPS WITH A 1072.TAKES FOREVER AND THATS THE WAY THE STREETCHARGER WORKS TOO,DONT HIT THE SWITCH AND DRIVE FOR 4 OR 5 HOURS AND YOU MIGHT ALMOST START TO GET A CHARGE WORTH TALKING ABOUTOriginally posted by maniak2005@Dec 4 2008, 04:18 PM~12335403
