Re: Custom Chargers for backup battery

Ray, connect it through a spike. Power the robot off, the spike disconnects.

Can you put an ammeter on the backup battery and measure the charge rate? I get about 100mA even with a fully charged backup battery. If we use the charger, I will probably use a timer to turn the spike on and off to prevent overcharging.

Even without the charger, our RC will stay energized after the main breaker is turned off, until you hit the reset button.
