Rabbithunter 456 Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 best thing to do iss get a battery charger with an ammeter built in,...... this will tell thee how "charged" it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasper65 6 Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Can you do damage to the Battery if you over charge? I used a 4amp car charger on mine and was adviced to only run it for around a hour at the most, the trouble is I forgot and it got 5 hrs pumped into it , it still seems ok but could I have done any long term damage?

mole trapper 1,694 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 One of my Deben packs that i use for all night jobs is the 17 amp hour, takes about 14 hours,ish, used it a couple of weeks ago, put it on charge in the trap shed and left it over night, remembered to take it off charge 4 days later. :whistle: , fingers crossed seems ok the couple of times i have used it since. Note to self, place batteries in a more prominent spot in shed, they may get noticed that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
