David Bowling's Continuous Charging Device

[Groundloop]

@Anothertruthfinder,

If it is a water/acid lead acid battery the just drain the battery with a light bulb until no light.
Then short the battery with a thick wire for some hours. Then fully charge the battery
again as far as it will go. Repeat until no charging is possible. A normal car battery
will probably "survive" approx. 11 discharges to low voltage before it is "dead".

@slayer007,

A capacitor has a low internal resistance (to current) when not charged. It has a high resistance (to current)
when fully charged. A "dead" lead acid battery has high internal resistance (to current) when not charged.
It has a lower internal resistance (to current) when charged. So the two items has the opposite response to
current. I do not think a capacitor will work in this circuit.

Groundloop.

Pese I think, is right.
If I were in my flashlight batteries, the 3 pieces a 1.2Volt (NC) used a
upside down, I have built instead 3.6Volt only 1.2 volts on my bulb.

At 3 pieces 12-volt batteries, I sure the same behavior (but timezone 10)

If I take 2 batteries and an incorrectly pole around, I have ZERO volts.
But also, it can not be otherwise ...

hi @ groundloop,
       
         thanks for the advice,  will certainly go through those stages and get there eventually lol - just gonna put it on charge and let it drain tomorrow etc.
       
         might have to rethink my bat3 though cause its 55ahr and bat1 & 2 are 105ahr but ill try and see - i guess its all data be it positive or negative.

thanks again,

Hi All

I've created a synopsis of the posts that David Bowling has already made on this thread (see attached document).

The document is listed in chronological order. 

On the last pages David explains what he means by a "dead" battery which are very relevant to making this work, I think 

Regards,
Paul

Hi All

Damn I knew I was going to mess this up somewhere...LOL...turns out it's the last line in the document....

"Dead Battery Description:

Battery can be charged up to 14 volts, if disconnected and set overnight it drops down to very little on the voltage meter."

Should have been edited at the time of posting to....

"Battery can be charged up to 14 volts, if left connected/disconnected and set overnight it drops down to very little on the voltage meter?"

Forgot to change the . for the ? and the connected part...

Regards,
Paul
