Power Supply Question
I have a military radio and I need to get a power supply to charge the 12V
battery. The manual says to charge it at 1A for 5 to 6 hours. Does this mean that I have to buy a power supply that has a variable current control? The battery is a lead-calcium. Thanks, Rod |

You could try a model store and see if they have one grunty enough for you. Ken |
