How does it actually work the rectifier changes the ac to dc doesnt it its very cool nothing wrong with old technology and it does both 6 volt and 12 volt batterys that pretty cool for a really old battery charger the ray gun thats a load tester isnt it Well done for repairing the unit stuff like that gets thrown away but its a piece of history how old would it be 1930s or 1940s Something i read about 6 volt batterys was that they handled the cold weather better and didnt freeze up a bad as the 12 volt something to do with the amount of acid around the plates the reason they changed over was the 6 volt had poorer lights not as bright
I'm thinking It's earlier as in 1910 to 1920s I've found no examples like it the frame being all cast iron. The examples of chargers from the 1920s look much like modern chargers with sheet metal casings.
If you think about it if they use the same chemistry why would a 6-volt battery handle cold weather better than a 12-volt battery when the only difference between the two is the amount of cells in Ceres
@@markdi2 maybe more cells more problems. But 6volt is a low voltage for cold weather starts and requires larger gauge wire and perfectly clean connections.
