dumb attack

[Don Ferrette]

Well I had a dumb attack.....

I have an Irwin trickle charge box & a Radio South charger cycler. I didn't keep the transformers seperate & now I don't know which goes with what. Anyone know the input voltage on either or both of these or what the transformers say on them?? :wacko:

 

[Danny Bull]

Hi Don, some pictures might help.....lol

Cheers, Danny.

Don has now been reduced to attacking himself.

 

[Danny Bull]

Well he's not picking on me, so I wont mention rudder placement.

Don are the transformers the same size?

Usually the trickles are rated in Milliamps and will be smaller than the charger cyclers rated in Amps,

[Don Ferrette]

It's the input voltage I'm concerned with. One is 18V 200mAh the other is 14.5V 800mAh. ARRRGGGHH! :blink:

 

[Slideblues]

Then my guess would be the 200mah is the trickle, the voltage will be lower under load,

Gene

Maybe some of the FE forum Dude's might know exact voltages and stuff ?

 

[Ron Olson]

Don, I've got a phone call in to the guy that used to build a lot of the electronic stuff for Jim Irwin and hope to have an answer for you ASAP.

 

[Don Ferrette]

Gene- you would think that but since the voltages are different I'd hate to be wrong.

Ron- very cool, I appreciate the effort.

 

[Slideblues]

Yep better to be safe than sorry

[Ric Carpenter]

Hi there....would you like to talk to the guy that designed the unit?

 

[Don Ferrette]

Uh Yeah! B)

 

[Ric Carpenter]

Email me at diodes_b_me@hotmail and I'll fill you in about the transformer and such

~Ric

P.S. I'm going to updat lots of things and have some new things available in the first quarter of '04 through Irwin.

Most will be Microcontroller based in charging and monitoring.

Some general charging some for glo-starters

Later

 

[Ric Carpenter]

that's hotmail.com oops..hehe

 

[Ron Olson]

I was on the phone with Ric while he was putting in the response. The guy is going to have some (and I hate using this word) awesome gear coming out next year. Get in line behind me!

 

[Don Ferrette]

VERY cool!! BIG thanks for the help Ron, I just e-mailed Ric.

 

[Ron Olson]

You're very welcome. I just got lucky by having him living near me.

 

[Don Ferrette]

Well we are 1/2 way home, Ric hooked me up with all (and then some) the info I needed on the Irwin KC-12 gang charger. Now if I can find the box the Radio South cycler instructions were in ................ :wacko:
