Perhaps your charger is too smart???? I bet that a simple one will work better. it has figured out that something is wrong with your “battery” -- Fred, Springfield, Ma |

It could be that your charger is set up to more or less dump 6 amps thru a battery, which has a level of resistance to having electricity pushed into it; the charger could be actually able to dump 8-10 amps under a no-load situation, creating the fault condition. Perhaps a better quality charger would be in order to sustain that amperage. -- Power tools put us ahead of the monkeys |

I tried electrolysis and found that I really – really didn’t like it. Too much fuss and bother. I keep a poly bucket of the stuff around quite a lot. Lasts a long time de-rusts everything no pitting Also passivates SSTs very well and if you want to go the extra mile get some EDTA and toss that in to the solution. Citric acid is un-demanding you don’t need to pay attention to the titration just dump some it in the water and toss the metal in. Time is not too important, temperature is not important make it as strong as you please. It even sharpens old files. Can’t do that with the battery charger. -- When the moderator chooses sides, his site sucks. |
