    I still have the automatic charger that came with my Zercom. It has alligator clips so can be used with anything. My Marcum one works fine. You could probably pick something up at Radio Shack or online for sure. I recommend automatic. The old style that never shut off was never my favorite way to charge batteries.

    I guess I’m lucky because I’ve never had a problem with the
    DCS chargers.

    I have a regular charger with the alligator clips that came
    with my camera that I will use to charge my batteries if
    the DCS stops working.

    Alot of retailers sell chargers included with the batteries.
    You should be able to buy just a charger somewhere.

    I use a traditional battery charger that typically comes with a battery when purchased on units that don’t have the DCS. I have found that this Minn-kota portable tester works very well as its small and fits into my ice storage very well.

    Thanks guys. I have 2 DCS’s that do not work this year for some reason they display the percentage but does not flash when hooked up. To get them apart to fix does not look easy. I looked on Marcums web site and they dont sell them anymore, unless I looked it the wrong spot.

    I guess the big thinkg is I like seeing what my batteries have left for a charge.

    Thanks again.
