[VAC] Re: Univolt



Thanks Roger,
    The Airstream Manual for my 66 Safari, says the following about Univolt
charging.  "The UNI-VOLT incorporates a unique voltage sensing section in
the charger circuit that automatically controls charging current.  When the
battery is fully charged, shut-off is compete; it is impossible to
overcharge."

I say bull pucky and I know a lot of people who will corroborate my
experience.  If what Airstream said in the manual were true than I shouldn't
be on my second new battery in two years.  I'm itchin for the state-of
the-art.

PS:  Roger, I now understand that DC charging from the puller is direct.
