Dave, I've got one of those. My folks picked it up for me at one of those "indoor flea markets" for a few bucks. Works to trickle-charge from one battery to another, so over time, the two batteries would reach equilibrium (not a state of mind) So, it works if you have all kinds of time! NOT for a jump-start! Hope this helps, Doug '90 GL
