Re: [DucatiST] Re: Hibernating batteries over Winter

 


> As I understand the term, a trickle charger just keeps pumping continuously, whereas the float ones monitor the battery's voltage, take it up to the optimum and keep it floating there, topping up as necessary. Word has it they can still overcharge, however.

It's actually far simpler to make a good float charger with no
intelligence whatsoever. (I built my own).

Simply it charges to 14.3 volts. It can't over charge. The closer you
get to terminal voltage, the less current it feeds. Simple, linear
regulator.
