I am charging a battery for a 1965 110 hp Monza. The charger has 2 settings
for 12 volt battreries -- 2 amp and 10 amp. Anybody know which one I should
use? Thanks.
*****************************************************
All chargers built in the last 20 yrs. / sold to the "public" are "AUTOMATIC
TAPER CHARGE"
Put it on 10 for 36-60 hrs.
2 amp is for "battery maintenance" [ trickle charge].
NOTE: your battery is probably 60 amp/hour........nothing is
100%efficient.....so, even at a constant 10 it would take 7 hrs...minimum...and yours will
taper off in less than an hour or 2.
