Kooler,

it does seem to charge..
i pulled one battery off 3 hours ago.. and the volts are still up and i put a small load on it and the volts only fall about 0.021 and come right back up as soon as i pull the load off
so i put another battery on this thing and checking it now to see if it will recharge it
.. it seems to go alot faster once i pull out the led.. of course
i just playing right now..
but making it this way does help lite the led brighter

So, what happens with a 7-10 turn secondary?
A secondary frequently has nothing to do with the amps draw from the battery, and often lowers it.
The problem is sometimes it puts out a light that is in the place of your light, and if it does this, then reverse it if possible.
If you can find the direction for a secondary light that does not turn off the primary light, then you can probably remove the primary light and the battery might recharge...(and you will still have a light, and with more turns it will be full bright.)
This makes me wonder, if the C-E is interrupted by a battery, will the battery recharge?
I think this is what gadget was doing, but he said a battery wouldn't recharge enough. hmm
