Hi Eric,

I'm curious, what brand and model number charger do you use that offers
those 3 charging phases. I may be interested in selling them if I can
find a good product at a good price.

I sell the Xenotronix charges. They have proven extremely reliable and
seem to take good care of glider batteries. I think they are 2 stage
(phase) chargers.

I use a Xenotronix 4 amp charger - 10 years now. They say they are "two
stage", but their operation is usually called "three stage" or "three
phase". They have the phases I listed: constant current, charge, float.

The Batteryminder 12 volt, 2/4/8 charger seems good, and though I
haven't used one, some motorglider pilots like it. I like the selection
of currents, which fits the different batteries I have.

Yes, the PowerSonic "A-C" chargers work the same way. There's really
three "phases" even though they call them dual rate.
