Lawnmower Battery Charger ?

[fox assasin 16]

Well lads , i am getting a 12 v 18 ah lawnmower battery . I have no charger for the lawnmower battrey , but i do have a 12 v battery charger from my old clulite battery. I was wondering can you use the clulite 12v charger for the lawnmower battery ?

I was thinking , the way you snip off the jackplug on the original cord on the lamp and then u peel it apart then tie it onto the lawnmower battery , can you do the same thing with the charger and it will charge ?

 

Cheers lads atb

If the battery is 12v and its a 12v charger, crack on.

be carefull lad be sure to put the + wire and the - to the correct terminals, dont think the clulite charger has the wires marked and the charger is a trickle charger so you will need to charge the battery for a lot longer. keep an eye in lidl or aldi they do a great wee charger for cars and motorbikes at about 15euro it trips out when the battery is fully charged. atb coverdogs

Good luck, red = positive, black = negative

red is + usually and the other 1 is likely black that is -

go to any car shop and get a decent charger for about £15 and it will charge it faster .

ONCE YOU cut off the jackplug connect the two wires to a 12v cordless drill and itl turn clockwise if you have the wires the right way round.hope this helps iv just tried this so it does work

Hi mate, why don't you try a motorcycle batt charger? I have 2 for my bikes and there connected all the time when the bikes are not in use, they have a batt condition check on them which will tell you if a cell is faulty and they are good for any 12v batt wet or gel ect up to 30amph I use mine to test my power packs twice a year.
