<VV> Re: Battery Tender Problems

Changes the alternating current of the transformer to the direct current
required by the battery.  Actually, since diodes are cheap, a bridge
configuration would be better.  (A single diode simply chops off half of the
wave.  A bridge rectifier uses both halves of the wave for a smoother
output.)

Phil asked:

Wanted to "poll" the group on experience with the "Battery Tender Plus"

JR replied:

Try a doorbell transformer.  I think they put out about 2amps.

Harry added:

Don't forget the diode.

Bob now asks:

And the diode does... what?
