Sounds like a short on one of the battery cells. Get the local tyre and battery shop to check the battery out

Can you charge a car battery with a 12v battery charger and use the battery at the same time?
It should work very well with a few limitations. If you try to start your car from a flat battery connected to a battery charger, then this would in general mean that you try to start your car with the charger unit. A charger unit can in most cases not deliver more than 6-10 Ampere at most. To start the car, you would need 50-100 Ampere, something a normal charger can not give. Likewise, if you turn on the headlights, these drain approx 55-75 Watt each. Depending on connected charger, the headlights could drain more power than the charger is capable of, and you would still be running the battery down, just not as fast as you would without the charger attached. If you play music in the car whilst being in your own garage doing repairs or cleaning or any other work, then it is a good idea to attach a charger to the battery first. This would ensure max capacity when you go out for a drive since you will basically only use the power from the charger when playing music.

No, an automobile battery charger outputs 12 Volts. This is far too many volts to charge a 5 Volt battery. You would destroy the 5 Volt battery with this charger.
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.

Your question is confusing. First off a battery charger puts out DC voltage not AC. If you are asking if you can run a 120 volt battery charger on a 220 volt circuit the answer is no you cannot. That would destroy the charger.
Put battery charger on sears mower and engine starts to turn over as soon as the charger is pluged in?
Sounds like the starter relay or solenoid is stuck. Check the selenoid - the selenoid might be stuck closed which would cause the starter to turn because the power wouldn't be shut off from the battery. Or it may be the ignition switch is stuck in the start position.
