It's this one: http://www.mascot.no/pdf/9640.PDF 12V version - maximum charge current 2.7A. The different versions are diferent voltages and different connectors to the battery. As long as you have the right voltage you can just change the connectors and put banana plugs or powerpole connectors on it. Peter

There is some kind of recommendation (I forget the exact details) that SLA batteries should only be charged at 15-20% (?) of their rating, so that's 2.1A max for a 14Ah battery, so 1.3A would be fine for that and 2.7A would be ok too and would charge the pack quicker than the 1.3A one.
