I think I am over using them and they go haywire. I read that I can charge my AGM's with an automotive alternator. I am thinking of building a battery charger with an alternator driven with a 1hp AC 220 V motor. The alternator has an internal regulator, so it will stop charging when the battery is full. <br>Is there anything wrong with this idea?<br>Hank<br>_______________________________________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br>Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org<br>http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles<br><br></body></html>
