Hi All
I have got my station components to work on 12 vts DC thru the use of DC/DC converters.My thought was that the DC/DC converters are more efficient than wall
warts and a UPS and the battery would last longer on a power outage. I would like to have the system run on a battery with something to maintain the battery health while under an approx 1 to 2 amp load. . The problem is what to use to keep the battery charged but also healthy. I tried a 1.5 vt charger/maintainer which worked for ~ 2 years. I am not sure whether it's the battery or the maintainer which is malfunctioning. I can go into what I have done recently . My question is would a possible scheme be to run a 6 amp charger on a wall timer work to cycle the battery and prevent sulfation? Maybe shutting off the charger for say 8 hrs each day then put back on a 6 amp charge would work. Alternatively is there a product I could use to have battery maintain charge and capacity for a reasonably long period of time.
Regards
Barry
