Charging Batteries


 BatteryMINDer® 12-Volt  2, 4, or 8 Amp Charger-Maintainer-Desulfator-Conditioner w/ABS-248


Across the parking lot from my daughters music lesson is a battery store.  Lucky me!  I was able to purchase the BatteryMinder I had been stalling on getting.  Here is a picture of the unit -

I've hauled out the 8D Werker battery and it is now on a slow 2A default charge.  It had an initial charge of 7.4 volts.  I think the chances of recovering any functionality is slim, but worth a try.  I'll report back in 3 days with the results.

Update 12/9:

I came home from work to see the charger flashing red.  That sent me to the instructions which said the battery is not fully charged due to being too big of a battery or discharged too much to complete a full charge on one cycle.  I checked the volts which have risen from 7.6v to 12.33v - YEA!  I reset the charge at 2amps again and hope for the best.  I'll report back in a day or so.
