However, right now it has converted to: on, off, and on. Any ideas what would cause that? It did work properly for a brief period of time. Also; /html/triumphs/2005-09/msg00753.html (8,607 bytes)

If so, it's a gross oversimplification. First bad assumption : very few battery chargers are accurately voltage regulated; /html/triumphs/2005-09/msg00796.html (9,792 bytes)

Lang" <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 11:57:35 -0400 (EDT); Perhaps the logic of Dan's claim is true, but if you charge a battery long enough, much of the water will boil away and after that, the battery is toast.

16. Re: Battery Charge Time? (score: 1): Author: Dave1massey@cs.com; Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 13:55:46 EDT; Not all battery charges are regulated. Certainly not the cheap ones. Those will put out more than 14.6 volts and will overcharge a battery. But any charger that regulates to 14.6 (or preferably 14.25; /html/triumphs/2005-09/msg00809.html (9,235 bytes)

Almost always, the output is limited by voltage, not current. (T; /html/triumphs/2005-09/msg00815.html (11,770 bytes)
