More power supply help... - 03.21.2009, 09:59 PM

I had a charger that charged my old lead acid batts I use. I soldered deans onto it. The deans plug was backwards. Now when I plug it in the tiny green led flashes very fast. I took it apart and I couldn't find anything obvious wrong with it.

Today I came across a new power supply for an old laptop. It puts out 18v instead of 29v. I want to use this new power supply to charge my two 12v lead acid batteries.

The two things I think I need to do are put a charge limit on the system and change the voltage to something like 15v or preferably ~29v. Anyone know how I could do this?

Left is back of old ps, middle is ne, and right is insides of old.

The middle would not be very effective for your Pb batteries, because it only puts out 2.23A@18v. Most Pb batts can be charged at least at 6 amps

I just need something to charge my leads with. The other charger puts out 2.5 amps... It is kind of like charging a phone. You just plug it in all day then keep an eye on it too.
