Hey, now. Information based on formal education and grounded in scientific fact? This is the Internet, here. We can't have that. ;-) > Tell me what the capacity is, and the model number, and I'll check the > proper charging profile from the datasheet ... What, you're saying I should RTFM for the battery? :) Heh, I actually never thought of that. I typed the P/N from the side into Google, and sure enough, and found the datasheet as the second link. (Panasonic LC-R127R2P1, for those of you following along at home.) The datasheet gives "Charge Method (Constant Voltage)" for two scenarios: "Cycle use (Repeating use)" has an initial current of <= 2.88 A, and a control voltage of 14.5 to 14.9 V. "Trickle use" has an initial current of <= 1.08 A, and a control voltage of 13.6 to 13.8 V. I almost sort-of understand that. :) But I don't have the knowledge to translate it into "What will happen if I hook it up to an automotive charger?"
