Re: (ET) CHARGER

[Ken Olum <kdo cosmos5 phy tufts edu>]

I have had three Elec-traks, and in no case did the charger work.  As
far as I could tell, the problem was inside the transformer.  I charge
mine with a laboratory power supply that I happen to have, but a
perfectly reasonable plan would be just to get 3 automatic 12V
chargers, which have become quite inexpensive nowadays.  You do have
to check that they are isolated, however.  No current should be able
to flow between the output leads and the AC input plug or ground.
This will be a lot better for your batteries than the built in charger
anyway.
