I'm working on a car, and in the process draining the battery quite rapidly. It's not really drivable, so recharging it by driving around after jump-starting isn't an option. I've got a few 12V and 15V transformers and other spare parts, and I was wondering how hard it would be to build a trickle charger for the car battery. My best guess would be a 12 VDC transformer, resistor-limited to about 100 mA and with an ammeter hooked in series to determine how much current is still flowing into the battery. Can someone out there enlighten me further? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Randy Spangler | Get your mind out of the gutter | | rspangle@tazdevil.claremont.edu | you're blocking my periscope | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Randy Spangler | Get your mind out of the gutter | | rspangle@tazdevil.claremont.edu | you're blocking my periscope | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
