I hope this isn't off topic. I bought an 18 AH gel cell for my K2 after the power went out last week. Today I bought a charger from HRO that charges up to 750 mA, which will take forever with an 18 AH battery. I've been told I can charge the battery with my regulated power supply if I am careful to not overcharge it. How do I know when it is close to fully charged? I plan to use the smaller charger to keep the battery trickle charged with the lower current charger. I simply want to get the battery charged faster. The battery is far from dead, but the voltage to my K2 drops significantly when the KPA100 option is used, even with a #12 power cord. I don't plan to use very high power, maybe 30 watts or so. 73,
