This is a SLA battery, 6V 1.2AH. Been sitting on the shelf uncharged and unused. At the moment I have it connected to a 5 volt supply. Am I wasting my time? It is my later intention to put it on a 6 volt battery charger, but that's bulky and kept in the garage. Also has the big bulky jumper type battery clamps, so I'll have a hard time connecting this tiny battery.
Am I wasting my time? As mentioned, the shelved voltage was 1.47 volts. I want to see if a 5 volt regulated power supply (36 amps) can put a little juice back into this battery and make it chargeable and useful.
(battery case temperature is 74.5˚ F or 23.6˚ C) (I wish I had a 6.8 volt supply)
