emag car charger - will it drain my car battery?

10-04-2001, 08:48 PM

heyas, I searched for an answer to this without any luck.

If it safe to leave a battery charging with the car turned off? I dont wanna drain my car battery
Also, while on the subject how long does the battery take to charge?

"it constantly leaked from the 3 way. I bought all new pneumatics and the leak just moved. I sat down and looked over Ravi's cocker site and messed with it and it still did'nt work right. I took it to a local "cocker expert and it worked ok until I got it home. Needless to say I have never had the urge to throw something off a cliff more." - Load SM5 on owning an Autococker

First off, on many cars (like mine), the cig lighter socket isn't "hot" unless the ignition is turned on. I bought a Radio Shack AC to DC power supply, P/N 22-501, $9.99. As far as charging times, I've never let my battery get too low (my E-Mag is only 9 days old, and my eMicro, well, that's another story ) The E-Mag's instruction sheet says to charge "until the green light comes on", then 3 to 4 more hours of trickle charge for a maximum charge. Will it kill your car battery? I doubt it. I used to charge MANY 7.2v R/C car battery packs up in a day, with never a problem.
