id feel alot safer w/ a smart charger for a couple more bucks :)

also, dont forget to snatch up the 'optional' charger cord, put a 4-pin on there, boom, done :)

Why would I need a 4 pin? Can't I just use the alligator clips that come with the charger and clip them directly to the tabs? Can you give me a link to a cheap "smart" charger... thanks.

So you're saying if I get the cheapo SLA charger with the alligator clips, and then use that for charging by connecting them to the tabs on the SLA, I will run into problems? I plan on only doing cycle recharges... so I don't really need a float charger. I'm rigging up a female cigarette adapter to the tabs on the SLA but will leave some metal exposed so that the alligator clips can charge it... when it's not being charged, I will cover them with electrical tape.. I know it's not the prettiest setup but I'm hoping it will be ok. Alternatively, I could put a male cig adapter onto the charger instead of the alligator clips... really all I wanna know is if one of those cheapo batterymart chargers will work decently enough?

what im saying is, if you have alligator clips to charge, thats all good, but where the alligators will go to charge, you will have those lil tabs, thats the connection i dont trust :)

because youll have a non locking/soldering connection on those tabs on the battery, thats why most ppl put a simple 4-pin on the battery tab ends, then chagre w/ a 4-pin on the charger end :)

you can use whatever you feel safe, just as long as its a snug connection :)

Guys,

  Your favorite uncle here. Just wanted to see if anyone could gather and trim some posts to reflect the upshot of this thread. Twenty-three pages on a battery mod seems a bit extensive.

Anybody? Hand-jobs and cheetos to the volunteer.

Thanks,
UJ

Thanks for volunteering!  When can we expect the condensed version?

Yeah... i was hoping someone, like , say, a global moderator, that has read these posts already might be interested. The point, of course, is for ME to avoid having to read 23 pages worth of stuff.

+t, smart-ass  ;D

Actually I will volunteer for the condensed archival post. I need to make a contribution such as that. Just give me time.

Hey guys

All the pages from this thread have been copied to my lappy's harddrive and the real work will begin tomorrow on the interstates of America. I have plenty of time to work on this since my family and I will be driving to Washington State from Kansas City to do some hiking. I will have internet access ever once and a while so hopefully I can have the archive power page up before I get back on August 7. If not expect it then. Thanks for the space guys and hopefully I can finally give something back!
