CAN HV BE CHARGED WITH A CAR CHARGER?

Jerry.
I have these chargers that I have being using for my packs, temporarily until I get enough $..to get a more standard NIMH charger.
But in the meantime, I use them interchangeable to complete the cycles.

1. Battery charger type: BCC
Input 230V/50Hz
Output 9V/2A/18VA

2. Panasonic video AC adaptor
Has discharge and discharge function.
Input 100-240V/50-60Hz
Output 6V/1.3A

All these chargers give me what I want, but it's just that I'd have to be the "apart charger" during the process. I mean, I'd have to be monitoring the modules for heat or pressure build up.

None of the batteries has ever heated up though.

Please do advice, if you think there's something I'd need to do, during charging.

Thanks

 

Hehehe! ...and we kind of like get interesting results, but its just the much time you'd ha e to put in there.

 

I'm really appreciative of your help, @Beach-Prius, that's the something I do, but a different kind of charger though.

PS: How did you arrive at the 1hr calculation?
You got that calculation from this?

Battery capacity/charger current=hour to check modules?
If its YES, from my calculations, here's what I got:

Capacity of module(6500MA)/output current of charger you're using(420MA)

=== 15.5hrs or 1.5days(approx 2days).

Correct me if I'm wrong please.

 

...andthats

...and that's even for a single module.

So, for the whole pack, you'd get,
15.5hrs ×28

==434hrs or 18days.

 

It would work over here, if I get a step up/step down transformer to stepdown the voltage 220V/50-60Hz to 110V.

 

Yo

You're right sir!

 

@Fuzzy

 

Thanks so much for the response.

I think this platform is where lots of people, who have being in this field for long interface with people from countries or regions that have got no opportunities like you guys over in the USA, Europe, etc do.

You've being so helpful on this flat form.
If I had the resources, like maybe @fotomoto does, I wouldn't bother asking such questions, and even want to improvise.

 

I think it all depends on taking appropriate safety measures.

Same thing with hybrid cars.
If one messes with them, they're gonna ha e themselves to blame

 

Hehehehhe

Heheheheh! I have being waiting for your reply a thousand years ago! What kept you for so long?

Thanks a thousand for the reply sir!

 

Proposition!

Low SOC like this?
Can I start with say, 5A for charging, and maybe, 4.5 or 4.0A discharge (using 55W bulb)?

High SOC like this?
500mA-2A charging, and 4.5, or 4A discharging?

Would use a DVM for voltage monitoring.

I'm I correct on this?

 

Please as regards the emergency pack recharge using a known working hybrid, could you PLEASE, give a schematics or pictuees , or anything that could assist me? I can send you my email here, if you want to.

For the electrophoresis, well, I'm just hearing of that term, today. That's not funny, but that's the truth.
I don't have such. But maybe would look out for it here, in any of the used electronic parts stores.

I would be very grateful, if parts needed for converting the electrophoresis to a hybrid charger can be listed here Sir.

Thanks for your time.

 

Here's what I got online.
You're very correct. That stuff would be OK for a hybrid charger.

Specific output control for both voltage and current speicifications:

Ability to change the voltage from 10 - 300 V as minimum of 250 volts will be required for electrophoresis run;

Current to be adjusted from 4-400 mA 5

The supply must be integrated with digital displays to provide error free and precise output settings.

To be provided with 3 digit display 6
It must have built in timer for unattended runs. This prevents the need for continous monitoring and eliminates risk of sample over runs.
It should be programmable from 1 minute to 999 minute with digital display 7

Provision for running multiple gels at single time. To serve this purpose it should be provided with four outputs and power of 75 W.

Thanks
