Jack, I own a rennaissance charger. I have been using it for close to 2 months, using it to restore a pair of trojan t125 batteries wired in series so the...
The Parts have arrived and I have built the ssg as per exact instructions, the only diffrence is that mine has eight magnets, stuck around the bicycle wheel....
Hi, I believe that the main problem is in the AC setting: why using AC? The instrument is made to measure "standard" current and this is fluctuating between...
[John posted the below emails sometime back on other private lists and has just now reposted it to the SG list. It is important. The context is not entirely...
Rick and everyone, I was reading thru some posts today, and it seems that john recommends tuning the ssg with a 1 ohm resistor across the charging battery...
oops' the end specific gravity reading is 1310 not 1130. as in above 1200!! ... months, using it to restore a pair of trojan t125 batteries wired in series so...
so is there anything I should do different when switching over to power from a wall wart power supply? should I just put the leads where the power battery...
Tom, Yes, this will be part of the new tuning procedure in the guide. You start with 680 ohms approximately on the trigger resistor and make sure your setup is...
Tom, I would play around with different size capacitors to place across the front end which smooth things out. This is in parallel with the front end and power...
... That's what I've been doing for the past month--I had to put a small nail in the plug in order to clip a lead to it though, since it's one of those female...
Thanks! last question, should not primary voltage match charging voltage, or is it irrelevant? I was under the opinoin that 12volt on primary for 12 volt on...
No, you do not have to match the voltages. On the RC charger you have to use 12V. Rick ... voltage, or is it irrelevant? I was under the opinoin that 12volt on...
One of the things I discussed with John Bedini today was about what happens when you have a dried up battery that you add water to because it is low, and then...
Hi all, I've posted my results for the past month or so in the files section under "Shamus Hammons". I've posted both a PDF with a few graphs and the original...
Shamus, Bummer that your first experiment showed poor results. And thank you for persisting with a second battery. Based on what you are seeing with the used...
Let's say your circuit stopped working and you suspect a diode or transistor is bad. How do you diagnose the problem? Here are some simple procedures to test...
Most of the parts for my first SSG are on the way and I'm hoping to be building this weekend. I've ordered the materials as listed in the components list but...
Marvin, If you want any help with your build from the forum members, please use rectangular ceramic magnets like the specification says. The reason it says...
Rick, Maybe I'm missing something; what is the power rating of this 1 Ohm resistor? When I test it with a 2W resistor it does get warm when I tune the ssg to...
I am in the process of doing the load test (This is my first post). I have a running SSG and I already charged two batteries succesfully. Now I am going to do...
Hi Marcia, The first link does not work for me, including various truncations. The second link is really excellent. Thank you for sharing your searching. The...
Guido, Different instruments will vary with the numbers. The main point is that the resistor does not burn out even at the 1V setting. In my video I showed a...
Yes this is using the system in Solid State mode. It is not effective in charging as it may first appear. Trigger resistance is too high. Rick ... I ... is ......
It's been mentioned here that true lead-acid batteries are preferable to gel types for the load test. Does that apply to AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries as...
Interesting. I had the same thing happen, I'm getting ready to run my tests as well. And the thing starts spitting out the spikes all by itself.. ha ha.. I was...
Thanks Rick for the response, When I look at the sweet spot, I am looking for the smallest voltages and heat (power or energy potential of the signal in...
Thanks... nice straight answer, just what I was looking for. As I mentioned in my first post, I've already got the rectangular ceramics on the way, I just...
I am curious as to why short fat wires are better than long thin wires on the monopole. On my research on negative electricity, I read that high impedence...
Rick, thanks for your answer. I need to tinker with my ssg some more. Guido ... at ... amount ... a ... battery ... it ... system. ... SSG ... anything ... ...
Hi Richard, I dont know about those AGM batteries, but the preferable Ah rating for the basic load tests would be 1.2 to 7Ah. Larger batteries would take much...
