minibbb Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Evening allI have a rotary pigeon magnet and a 12V 7AH battery- I decided to upgrade the battery as it's a few years old now and have just picked up a Yuasa 12V 12AH battery from Toolstation.I have a cheapy blackspur12v 500ma trickle charger which doesn't have any charging indicator lights etc. How would I know long to charge my new battery for? Can I leave it connected?I also have a motopower 12V 800MA smart trickle charger which according to the box says it's suitable for my spec battery. The trouble is when I connect it it just shows solid green which suggests fully charged. It did this even with my old 7AH battery which I think is pretty knackered! Maybe the charger is faulty?Any help much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffgg Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 500ma so that will be a 24 hour charge for a 12 ah battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapid .25 Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 use the trickle charger you know to be working and it can stay connected to the battery, a trickle charge is great for your batteries lifespan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
