Whats the Deal with DC
If I am charging on my DC charger (7 cells) GWS MC2002 QUICK CHARGER how do I hook this up to a DC source...I have had mixed results
1. Car Battery (Engine Running) 2. Car Battery (Engine Off) 3. Car Battery (extra lying around the shop) 4. Expensive AC power supply converter. I have been told by different people that their was the only way. Please Help...

Hi,
Since the GWS MC2002 QUICK CHARGER has an input voltage range from 9-15 volts, all of the 4 ways you listed above will work just fine. Be suspicious of folks that suggest "my way or the highway".  Good luck! |

As Greg says any of those should work (unless 3 no longer has a good charge).
Things that can upset chargers : - Starting with the engine running then switching the engine off (sudden voltage drop) - Low current AC power supplies (it's the current delivery not the price which the charger sees  )- unregulated AC power supplies (typical wall warts or car battery chargers).
