Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Less than ideal....
But another completely different way to go about all this is to scrounge an old car alternator and a suitably large electric motor, perhaps from a washing machine, or even a Briggs petrol engine.

Pretty ugly, but it is an ultra cheap and simple way to make a reliable high current voltage regulated 12 volt battery charger.
