I would have thought that 75mA would have been okay with a 6V battery, but it's interesting that it was too much. I used to know a guy who put his car on a timed charger over the winter. That way he could set the charger to just run for about 1 hour per day. That was more than enough to keep it healthy. Half an hour might also be fine. Just use an ordinary $6 light timer. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
