Taming Lester 11

Tried the charger on a partially discharged ElecTrak battery today. The capacitors have helped a lot, the cables hardly got warm at all at 20 amperes of charge current. Before they'd be all melty after a few minutes at that level.

[edit] In the afternoon I put an Anderson connector and some #8 wiring on the tractor so that I can charge the batteries at a higher rate with the Lester. After running the tractor down the hill to retrieve some firewood, I used the charger at 40 amperes to fast charge the tractor batteries. The wiring got warm, as expected, but not flaming hot. I might still put the #6 wiring on the charger's output pigtail, but things are much better with the new filtering. [/edit]

The End (for now)
