Conversely, if you have a tiny battery and use a large high-amperage charge on it, you can destroy the battery. You have to know what the battery chemistry and voltage is.Īdditionally, if you have a huge battery and buy a small charger, the battery charge will not be optimized and can add up to a shortened battery lifespan an/or an incomplete charge. If you have a different battery other than what the charger is specified for, then yes you can buy the wrong charger for your battery type. Is your battery older? If so, the 8A and 15A Intelligent Battery Chargers have a reconditioning cycle that will help restore the battery's life and effectiveness.If you live somewhere cold, you'll want a charger with Winter Mode - both the 4.0A Intelligent Battery Charger and 15A Intelligent Battery Chargers offer this mode.If you have a larger vehicle or a big LiFePo4 battery, the 15A Intelligent Battery Charger is a great choice. For cars, large motorcycles, aux batteries and the like, the 8A Intelligent Battery Charger is good for charging at 2A. If you're running a smaller LiFePo4 battery (hobby size or motorcycle), then the 4A Intelligent Battery Charger is perfect.It's a bit like keeping a can of petrol in your workshop - in theory it's perfectly safe, but most of us would rather it was sat somewhere else. They can also leak acid, or explode if there is a fault. Fine in a draughty engine bay, not so great in your back room. Oh yes, car batteries release explosive gas when in use. For added niceness, use the Dangerous Prototypes ATX breakout board or your own implementation of the circuit. A friend has just blown the tracks off a circuit board by powering it from an un-fused motorcycle battery.ĪTX PSU's are ten a penny from any discarded PC, I would look at salvaging one or more. in short, when on charge, you can't really guarantee what the voltage will be or what the charger will do if you start drawing current.Īs mentioned above, car batteries (even tiny ones) can provide HUGE currents (250A+) so you absolutely MUST have a fuse on it. Some smart or conditioning ones may spike the voltage to de-sulphate the battery plates, or drop to trickle-charge mode, or charge in cycles. A battery, when idle, will be around 12v but it's not regulated and will drop with load & float back up when unloaded.Ĭar battery chargers are quite variable, and will not output a smooth or regulated voltage - mainly because they don't need to. Connection to the Following Ring Solar Battery Maintainers: RSP150 (1.5 W), RSP240 (2. ![]() A car battery & charger is not a good 12v supply - for a start, it's not 12v. ![]()
