What was she thinking? I thought to myself. I just finished telling her to remember to remove the charger that was under the cars hood. Having wore down the battery earlier that day on mechanical issues, I took out my favorite antique charger to top up the battery. Well she managed to pull both wires out of the front and while backing up the charger fell below and was run over. That's when my wife wondered why the hood was up about 8". Now for my end of the story. I guess I left the key on in the ignition. Guess who's battery was dead this morning in the height of salmon time.:confused:

Re: Free one slightly damaged battery charger

My just barely adult kid was helping me in the woods. He set down the Husqvarna 55 saw, then proceeded to run over it with his pickup truck. Then he yelled at me for leaving it in the road.:confused:

I'm totally amazed at how tough those new plastic chain saw cases are. The bar has about a 30 degree arc to it, and the choke handle got broken off. I blew the dirt out of it and put a fresh bar and chain on it and put it back in service.

I have yet to see a battery charger survive getting run over. I have witnessed a few battery charger murders done in that way, however.

I have an old line heavy duty battery charger that got run over, still works. It's just a PITA to move because it doesn't have any handles/wheels any more.

Don't knock the duct tape. It holds the world together around here.
