Never had no trouble with it with the car battery over years but because its smaller I'm not to sure if it will thanks anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 yes. if it has a low amp setting use that. keep it on 12 volt if it has a 6v or 24v setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) when the battery comes up to full charge the charger output will level out. A bit like a toilet system filling up with water. nice steady slow charge. As long as you think it is safe. it is only a small battery 4>5 hours should do it. As long as nothing gets very hot your ok. Edited March 5, 2016 by fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
