----- From: "Bob Volin" > Allan, how would you suggest I discharge the battery without running the > pump? How would I know what size/model of resistor to hook it to? (Y'see, > I know how to make electrical connections, but I'm not too swift on > theory....) If you can find a low voltage cut-out that can be set to cut out in the 10.8 to 11.0 volt region, then connect it to the battery in series with a 5 or 6 watt car tail light bulb. When the bulb goes out you know it is time to attach the charger. Simple if you can get a cut-out. Us deprived Australasians have these Dick Smith stores where you can buy a kitset and assemble it yourself. You more civilised people should be able to find one ready made.
