Hello...
I have a collection of "wall warts" (class 2 transformers) battery chargers that are normally
included in rechargeable lighting systems.
Question 1: How can one tell if the wall wart is specifically designed for charging NI-CAD, NI-MH,
and/or SLA batteries.
Question 2: What kind of fire hazard/risks are the manufacturers suggesting if you were to
accidently charge a NI-CAD or NI-MH battery pack with a wall wart that is designed for SLA
battery packs?
I have a Nite Hawk Class 2 transformer (smart charger) that has a Red LED indicator for Charging and
Green LED indicator for charged -- with a note "Caution for 6v SLA battery only" that I want to
regularly use for NI-CAD / NI-MH battery packs.
Any thoughts?
Much obliged. Nick Lee Sparks, NV 89431 carless since January 2000.
