[Elecraft] Battery Charger EMI

I have experienced a 17-meter, signal-killing, pulse-type, high noise  
level problem for several months now.  I finally tracked it down to  
the battery charger that keeps a sump pump's inverter gel-cell,  
sealed Pb Acid batteries (80 amp/hr total) ready to supply power in  
event of a AC network failure.

Any thoughts on the best approach to correcting problem would be  
appreciated?   Call manufacturer and ask about filtering?  Look for a  
low EMI charger? If so what kind and from whom?  Other?

Thanks for any thoughts on this.
