QUOTE (sticko @ Jul 30 2010, 07:18 PM)  that charger sounds ok rule of thumb is a maximum of one fith charge rate ie 10ah 2amps max if you divide the charging rate into ah it will give you the charge time from flat (roughly )ie a 1000mah output charging a 10 ah battery will take 10 hrs if you want to work out how long your battery will last divide watts (50)by volts (12v)=aprrox 4amps so a 10ah battery would last 2.5hrs providing your battery is holding a full charge basic ohms law not telling any one how to suck eggs might help some out pete cheers for the info, well i can confirm i have one, so blade if u whana pm me ur name and home addy i will try and get in post tomorrow for u regards geoff |

Get the right charger for those 'magnet' batteries or you'll cook 'em. Take it from one who's (stoopidly) been there, done that and got the T Shirt!
 Using the right charger will give you years of use from the battery.
