Federico Sasso: Mind if I ask where would you put that text?
It would scare off any visitor reading it, eventually hurting your SEO efforts as well, imho.

In case you meant to use those terms in the old keywords meta tag, well, do as you please, just keep in mind it wouldn't impact search engines: they simply ignore the meta tag.
David Moran: these would be in the meta tag keyword section. ; http://www.mighty1090.com/chargers/
Luke Chaffey: As +Federico Sasso said, search engines no longer use the meta keywords tag, and should be left empty.
David Moran: Ah okay gotcha, thanks for the advice!
