Thanks grey beard. I knew which battery from the other posters pictures but which charger should I get? The $4.99 or the $5.49?

I went and sanded the alligator clips to see if removing the chrome plate from the inside of the jaws would give me a better connection and more power. It didn't. I don't remember being able to grab the old Pylon Sullivan starter I had long ago and being able to stop it. It sure seemed like it had a lot more power.
67031 charges in three to five hours. Even with the full length cord your car battery should have really given your starter a zing. My starter is a cheapo and with a fully charged 18 volt will roll over most DLE 30s. You may want to open up your starter and check it out, shoot it up with some electric terminal spray cleaner. A good starter will get with the
program on a 12 volt auto battery. Your charger is having a problem of some sort.
