battery charging
I can remember one time I had a Corvair engine I
was trying to start. I had my battery charger right there and when my
battery didn't roll it over any more, I put the charger on it. I done
this several times and then I had to put the charger back on the
battery. I put the Pos of the charger to the Neg of the battery
and when I hooked the Neg of the charger to the Pos of the battery, 2 of
the battery caps blew off the battery and hit the ceiling!!!!
It was a good thing that I didn't have my head above the battery. I paid
more attention after that. Keep polarity correct.
