just charging up a new battery (first charge of it ) i know thats an important one .

however looking at my chargers i only have 4 amp options on both

so i am exploring alternate options without the need of buying another charger just for the soul purpose of this initial charge

i have a box of electrical bits old phone chargers ,power adapters for electrical utensils and wot not .
On going through them and checking the outputs the closer one i found was 12.v 500ma .
i think the adapter is from a neon wall clock if i remember rite

any of you sparkys see a problem with using that ? Thinking Thinking Thinking

hi the battery is 12.v 6ah it is the newer sealed type to wich u add the acid pack.

the proposed chargers output was 12.v 500ma

i went with an old phone charger in the end its on charge rite now just ripped the ends off wired it up . seems fine ill just give it another hour and a half or longer to what it says the reccomended time is for the first charge . wich is 4 hours on 1 amp

i think 12.v 500ma is the same as some trikle chargers . i may leave it on x2 the recomended time thinking about it Thinking

cheers
