Charging battery from mains is series with a capacitor

[nilrehob]

Experimenting with gotoluc's latest findings with a MOT I tried charging a battery from mains in series with a capacitor but no MOT and thus keeping pf=0. I don't trust what I found so I invite all to shoot it down.

If You're in a hurry go straight for the last video:

I later found the manual for the watt-meter, and It says that it only takes measurements in quadrants 1 and 4 (consumed energy). So if its in 2 or 3 (or very close to them I guess), it writes "err" in the "current page" and all power-related info says zero.

I've just been pointed to the "George Wisemans Capacitive charger" and this is it,
still interesting in my opinion and pf=0 is also interesting.

Hi   seems interesting
NOW if without grid  will  pulse motor  with 300 v dc pulse converted to ac then cap then back to dc   can do the same   ?   Ty

I have no idea, You have to try it.

Hi All, Hi nilrehob

Please share the link to download the document "George Wisemans Capacitive charger" if possible.

Thank you.
