But where's the fun in that? What I ended up doing was finding a bunch of old linear supplies in my junk box. Each was adjustable from 12 to

15 volts, so I set the regulators to 13.8 volts, and they work well as trickle chargers. (IIRC they are rated at 2 or 3 amps).

I have plenty of other stuff to design. I did hack a charger from an old DSL wall wart and a sabre saw; isn't that enough?

Hell no; it MUST use duct tape or it does not count.

John never, ever said he didn't use duct tape... I suspect that he probably did, but if he is a professional he used Gorilla tape instead.
