What charger do you need for a 12v motorcycle battery?

Any good 12 volt battery charger that puts out around 10 amps. Make sure it is an automatic charger. The same charger you use on an auto battery can be used on a motorcycle battery.


What is a smart charger for airsoft?

A smart charger is a lot better for your airsoft batteries. It charges your batteries in less than half the time it would take for your batteries on a wall charger. They are also a lot better for your batteries because batteries have memory. Say you have 2000 mAh of energy inside your battery. You use it until it has 1500 mAh left. If you plug it into a standard wall charger, by the time it's done charging, you won't have 2000 mAh of energy, you will have 1500 mAh. A smart charger prevents this. A smart charger also goes on trickle charge when your battery is done charging, so your battery doesn't overcharge or overheat. Trickle charge is when the smart charger creates a equillibrium of battery to charger, so that the charger charges the battery at the same rate that the battery uses energy. To sum it all up: A smart charger is better for your batteries and charges them faster, without damaging them. I personally have one, and it is well worth the money. Also: mAh stands for milliamps. This is the amount of energy storage the battery has. The higher the mAh, the longer the shooting time.


Can you use any car battery charger to charge a battery from an automatic car?

As long as both batteries are the same voltage, you can jump start with the battery. If you want to charge the battery then use a battery charger.


Can you use a 12V 7Ah charger to charge a 12V 26Ah battery?

Yes, the amp hour rating gives you an idea of the capacity of the battery and charger. The charger and battery need to have the same voltages. i.e. dont try to charge a 6v battery with a 12 v charger. The battery will be charged until it is full.

Why does a battery charger produces a higher voltage than the battery being charged?

Battery chargers generally operate at the same voltage as the voltage as the battery they are charging. They usually vary the amperage they feed into the battery to recharge it. A trickle charger usually only feeds a few amps into a battery to recharge it slowly over time. A fast charger feeds more amps for less time to bring the battery to full charge faster. Automotive alternators are the only charging systems that I am familiar with that generate more voltage than the battery they are charging. That's because they have to run the car AND recharge the battery at the same time. Car alternators can vary their amperage and voltage outputs to allow for the varying demands of the car and all of it's electrical devices and recharge the battery as needed.


Is a 2 amp battery charger the same as a 1 amp battery charger?

Yes, the only difference is one will charge twice as fast as the other! -Dale


Can a 5 volt 1.4 amp charger be used to charge a 5 volt 1 amp battery?

Yes. A battery draws what it needs from the charger, the charger does not force current into the battery. The voltage spec. is the same. Things would be different if you were to try to charge a five volt battery with a ten volt charger. You would probably blow the battery. Hope this helps.
