ckahleer Topic Author Offline User Posts: 399 Thank you received: 133	I have 2 12V smart chargers and a 50 year old 6amp dumb charger that has a 6v/12v switch. Is it safe to use this old charger on a ke100 6 v battery? 94 KE100 81 CM200t 82 KZ305 79 KZ400 85 VT 500c 85 VF1100c

gd4now Offline User Denco where did you go? Posts: 1261 Thank you received: 370	Here is some info on making and using a DIY charger. I can say it works well and will charge just about any voltage battery. www.alpharubicon.com/elect/3dollarbattggn.htm 1977 KZ650 B1 Pods and Denco header This is my Z OLD KAW OWNERS SMILE ALOT

You can get a voltage regulator for about $30.

Hook it up to your 6 volt or 12 charger.
You can control the voltage down to about 0.5v dc.
Plus you contol the current.

I just hooked my regulator up to a laptop charger to charge my 12v battery.

Battery University has a lot of info on charging batteries.
