Give away: 14V automatic charger
Robinton "Super Charger", 14V fully automatic fast/trickle charger
suitable for 14V sealed lead acid batteries. Used through 2010 season, no issues. Mid 80s manufacture, very rugged. I've switched to 12V system, no longer needed. Yours for the cost of shipping. Cost of shipping to R5N contest at Perry = one beer & tall story, or one extra tall beer. Evan Ludeman / T8 |

Evan Ludeman / T8 Never heard of a 14 volt battery. 12 volt batteries are normally charged at 13-14 volts, so you normally see 14 volt "systems" utilizing a 12 volt battery. |

Some radios designed for 13.8V nominal (which is what a "12V" alternator provides) and did poorly on 12 and quit entirely at 11.something, hence the 14V setup for gliders. It was fairly common in the 1980s and I suspect my 20B was set up that way by the original owner. Mine had a 10AH 14V pack consisting of two 6V 5 AH batteries plus two 4V 10AH batteries. Creative. Heavy. So when they got tired, I switched to 12. Modern radios, by and large, work just fine on 12V. -T8 |

It worked very well. Wayne HP-14V "6F" http://www.soaridaho.com/ |

I use 7 of the 2 volt, 5 amp hour Hawker Cyclon D cell size sealed
lead acids in my Zuni. I have two and can run a couple of days, 10hrs plus on my electrical draw. They are a nice thin size, 7 D cells in series. |
