Hi guys. Just trying to work out when my battery is charged without having to disconnect it every time and wait about an hour before i test the voltage.
I have two 12v 4.5ah batteries I have built a bifilar single coil SSG the same way as The Daftman on youtube. Will the neon LED light up once the battery is charged? Is that what most people rely on to know when the battery is fully charged? The most i am getting one of the batteries to charge at is 12.44v. It had been running for 48 hours and when i tested the standing voltage of that battery, it was 12.34v. Is that fully charged? When i bought one of the batteries brand new last week, it was standing at something like 13.4v out the box. Yet i can't seem to get it back up to that level?
If anyone can shed some light that would be great.
(this is the circuit i coied. But i have since re-wired the neon to the other end of the diode as was told it was an error by Daftman. However it works both ways so i have found)
