BAttery Charger

I'm making my own battery charger mainly to charge 12V car and truck batteries.
I have the following power transformer:
Type: TT2-C35-1F
240VAC to 12VDC 24VDC
Spec: Ei 41 x 21
It has 2 x red leads on primary side and 2 x blue leads on the secondary side.

WIll this transformer be sufficient for the purpose I want to use it?
It is the only transformer I have (got it from a friend) and unfortunately I am not in a position to buy any transformers.

 

Hello,

Looking at the following add, i think it is rather small:

Oooh no,

 

You need a supply that will provide at least 2-3A at 15Vdc.

Easiest is just to buy a 12V battery charger.
Amazon sells 12V, 10A chargers for <U$20 (example).

Thanks for the advice. It's just that I already have all the components, such as the charger casing, a voltage/amp meter, on/off switch, 4 diodes for rectifier, red LED, 1k resistor, 1000mF cap, cable for input AC, red and black leads with clamps for DC output to battery. Only a decent step down transformer lacks

 

A new transformer is likely more expensive than the entire charger.

 

This might work for you.​

The thing is, though, as mentioned above, the cost of a complete battery charger, with much more sophistication than you intend to include, and a competent, proven design will cost you no more than this, possibly less.

~20 bucks—not a recommendation from me but the reviews are good​

Can you please share the link of the positive review?

 

What the ampere of transformer?, what the ampere of doides you have for rectification?

 

Can you please share the link of the positive review?

I am not sure what you are asking for. The link to the charger on “complete battery charger” is to its Amazon listing. It has thousands of reviews.

this is an image, go to the post to follow the link​

 

That little transformer shown in the link, along with an adequate diode, is probably able to keep an unused 12 volt battery charged while in storage. It is not capable of charging an automotive size 12 volt battery in a useful length of time.

Only if you are very, very patient. Might just charge a car battery in a week or two.
