Re: [A/S] Re: Deep Fried Battery



Mark,
  The reason for the ammeter is to verify the operation of the I-P and 
CW. You can actually do that with your DVM (you do have one, of course?):

Connect it across your batteries and power up the converter. The voltage 
should rise to 14.4, hold there for a short while, depending on state of 
charge, then drop to 13.6. It should stay at 13.6 for about a day, then 
drop to 13.2 volts. As long as the voltage never rises above 14.4, 
you'll not cause the batteries to explode.
