Trickle chargers and Battery Conditioners
Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2008 9:14 pm
Hi folks
I have just been reading an article on "battery conditioners" which states that mobile phone chargers seem to perform this function quite satisfactorily, keeping an out-of-use battery "topped up" over the winter months without much risk of over charging. All you need to do is to cut off the jack plug and attach crocodile clips to the lead and you're away !
[ You would need to check which wire is positive and which is negative ! ]
Any electrical experts out there who could comment on this. It might be a useful , and cheap solution !
