Subject:      Re: Is a Battery Charger to run 12V systems from 120V OK?
Comments: To: Robert Prouse <rob@PROUSE.ORG>

Robert;
It sounds like it was working for you, as long as you do not
over charge the batteries. Some chargers will prevent this,
some won't. Keep a voltmeter on it until you feel confident.
Also, charging batteries give off explosive gas.
