BassJunkie Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 That's only 12v.You need like 13.x or 14.x to fully charge a battery. And?..... 12 volts is enough to get your car started, I never stated it was going to be a great and fast charge, but your car will start the next morning....

Charger Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Okay it's really easy to charge a car battery at home with only simple things you find laying around. First you will need -A box of lemons, six or more -6 copper plates -6 carbon rods -Assorted alligator clips + cable Stick a carbon rod and a copper plate in each lemon respectively. The copper will be your (+) and the carbon will be your (-). Now using the alligator clips and cables series the box of lemons together to achieve a higher voltage. You can parallel banks of them together if you want more current to perhaps jump start your vehicle. But if you're just after a charge seriesing them to achieve a high voltage and low current should be adequate. Keep this in the trunk of your car and it can be an emergency jump start pack in case you break down.

Airborne Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Get an old bike wheel and an alternator. Rig the wheel like a wind mill. Fix the alt so the pully lines up with the wheel. Make a "fan belt" and connect the wheel to tha alt. Place in windy spot and make sure it spins. If it does you just simulated the conditions under you hood. Stop it from spinning for a second, connect your battery "+ to +, - to -". And let it go for a while. I have done this to power a radio for shits and giggles. If the Alt isn't internally regulated then of course you will need the correct regulator. No shit this will charge your battery without much effort.

So your telling me your 20 inch windmil will turn out at least 10hp that is required per alternator to charger a battery?you must have one hell of a wind lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ratio is pretty sick and it spun damn fast. I didn't put the dmm on it but it worked untill I gave the alt awa a few weeks later. I didn't McGuyver this on my own, I saw an old man using the same basic idea to power an 8 track in his shed. It works man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassJunkie Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Umm...GL with that.... Most ATX PSU's provide 30-40a MAX ... Unless you've got a massive gaming computer.. Whats your deal??? The guy asked for a ghetto way to charge a battery.. I gave him an idea that WOULD work in theory. And why wouldn't 30 amps be enough to charge a battery? I have a 3 amp trickle charger, so whats wrong with 30 amps? So since my trickle charger charges my batteries a 3 amps... 30 amps wouldn't be enough? If a power supply can power a car amplifier, i'm sure it could slowly charge a battery enough to start a car.
