Getting the nitro boat ready and have acquired a like new 12v car battery for starting purposes. Its smaller than a normal car battery but larger than a lawn mower. Weights maybe 10-13 lbs.
My situation being overseas is that I'm not wanting to buy a charger that works off of 220v. Nope, no way, no how. I'll stuff that joker in my car and drive around with it before I pay for one. Then again, I don't have a normal car battery charger from the states with me to run off of a transformer.
Question for you guys is can I use a 6 or 9v, 50 mah charger like you'd use for your cell phone for this? You know, make a pig tail out of it and hook it up. It should work, but it'd take a few days and be kinda like a trickle charger. Who cares as long as it works. Besides, a starter don't drain that much so a full charge would last a few outings.
Btw, I'm not in a rush, because I can drop it in the car and go buy a six pack to let it charge up if I have to.
Thank ya'.
