Hi,
I have a 12v car battery charger, that I want to try and adapt to use as a motorcycle battery charger, yes it can be used as it stands, but motorcycle batteries don't need 4-6 amps ramming into them, it will do the job, but I've been told they could boil the battery
My idea is to reduce the current to say 1amp maximu, using a current limiter ......
Is this possible, or is it not going to be worth the effort, just to see if it can be done.
I am aware that it would have to have dropping 4amp to 1 amp, so somehow has to get rid of 3 amps worth of heat, quite a lot !
Thanks
