<VV> Battery charger with 50 Amp "Engine Start" enough ?

[Daniel Monasterio]

I think a 50 amp. charger could not work fine by itself but, supporting a low charged battery, as a good starter (with clean cable conections) uses up to 180amps. I would try slow charging the battery first (say 1 hour) and then try again with battery + 50 amp charge.
