How can you tell when a lead-acid (car) battery is fully charged?
I want to build a charger for the backup sump pump system in the
basement, and don't want to overcharge the battery (heard it was bad).
How much voltage should a charger put across the terminals?

While we are at it, what about the Ni-Cads?

Tired of wet basement :-)
