Battery problems easily found

A couple of months ago I was having battery problems like many people have. My truck battery would lose it's charge over night, and the battery was an almost new GMT battery for which I paid over $200 dollars for.

I decided I had it with meters and driving to the auto store for advice that was usually wrong, so I went on a search for a do all charger. There are a number of really good chargers available, and you'll pay good money for them all. My search brought me to SCHUMACHER, a brand I am very familiar with known for quality and capability. The model I bought was the 1352, and I was able to find my problem in less than 5 minutes. The problem?? The fairly new battery was junk, even though the parts house said it was good. However, my charger diagnostics told me the battery was failed and armed with that information I was able to obtain a no cost battery. I've used the charger on other batteries and have even been able to revive batteries long thought to be junk. This charger also has specific modes for battery type including GMT.

I've been very impressed with the schumacher chargers I have. I put quick connects on all my equipment.
Just a few months ago, I sold my 2006 VTX1800 Honda with the factory battery!
Last week I parked my car with the lights on. 🤦‍♂️ Let it charge overnight. This thing brought it back as good as new.
Once I even had this hooked to my daughters Power wheels fourwheeler when the factory charger wouldn't even recognize a connection. Got several more months of service from that battery before it finally toasted. Kid was also getting to big to ride it.
