Mine is badged Tronic and came from Lidl at the vast cost of 20 quid a couple of years ago but probably from the same factory. IMHO because they can also be charged off a car system they will have an internal regulator to prevent cooking the SLA battery. So a plain 12 volt DC supply will be fine. Mine is marked 12V 1000mA DC -- Dave Plowman dave(a)davenoise.co.uk London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

You won't do any damage by trying it. The charging indicator light should go off when the battery's charged. BTW be sure to charge it regularly. It appears these batteries don't last as long as car batteries.

But shouldn't need routine charging - SLA batteries have a very low self discharge rate. -- *Can fat people go skinny-dipping?
