MickMy experiment with charging those blg deep cycle golf cart batteries seemed to be a success.
I made a very large Bedini wheel, from a extra 316 stainless yacht wheel about 30" in diameter, because it just happened to be laying around. I hot glued 18 ferrite magnets around the rim, and made a Bedini coil up from 450 ft of #20 magnet wire, bifilar, and twisted together, as per instructions.I made up the standard circuit.I mounted it all on a 3/8" plexiglas disc that I also happened to have laying around, and welded up a three strutted bearing holder, so the rotating shaft might be also used in experiments.This wheel rotated rotated at about 100 rpm using a little leas acid garden tractor battery I picked up at Walmart at some lost leader sale for $12. I hooked up my two 6v deep cycle golf cart batteries from my boat, 225 amps each, and put in series for 12 volts.They had been charged with my home made wind generators for the last several years, since there is no power available to our swing moorings at our Toronto club.Initially, other than the wheel going round, nothing much happened the first day, running it in my studio.Non the less I was thrilled just to get the wheel turning.Over the next couple of days, there began a progressive increase in voltage in the two deep cycles, and a very modest draw down in the garden tractor battery.It took nearly a week, or so to charge those batteries the first time, but they really were charged.The interesting thing was the amperage going in, did not match the 225 amps of the fully charged deep cycle batteries. The garden tractor battery was down , but not too bad.With this scanty evidence, I opened my big mouth, to my friends at the boat club, telling about what I was doing, ( because I found it interesting, and somewhat exciting, at the time)I offered to store, and experiment with their batteries, too, during winter lay up, using my heated studio, not far from the club. So in effect, it became a group experiment with about ten battery sets, of 12 volts each.I started out using my charged deep cycle batteries to run the Bedini, charging their batteries, all at once, in parallel, just letting it go, but checking mine from time, to time, to see how the voltage was doing.As we were fairly busy at work, I gave my assistant Luiza, the job of keeping an eye on the battery voltages, while the wheel turned 24/7 on the Bedini.I was also participating in the Bedini group on the computer.A pattern was emerging. When the batteries would charge up, then get rotated to burn off some charge, doing something like running a big dc turntable, with a 3/4 hp motor, they were taking less, and less, time to charge up each time, until by April, we were seeing a charge in as little as 15 minutes to 14.24 from 12.1v.Luiza was getting fairly pissed doing all the messing with batteries, as it was taking a toll on her wardrobe, turning her outfits into lacey ruins, with the acid environment around them.It was time to have everybody pick up their batteries, all nicely charged, and kept warm for the winter.All the next season, everyone gave glowing testimonials about how well their batteries were performing, keeping a charge for the whole season.While some might be attributed to getting a sucker to maintain their batteries all winter, there seems to have been something else going on in this battery charging, because the charging speed was way faster after several cycles on the wheel than before. As far as I could measure, there were zero amps put in from the charger, just a 300 volt spike at each pulse.Later, I recycled a Bearden coil to make up a Rene charger.It seems to operate in a very similar manner.Cheers Warren

Hi Kone,
What have you found to be the best way to charge batteries with the
flyback pulse to allow the super fast charging and high energy discharge
Bedini type response, what is the maximum voltage you allow into a lead
acid, do you limit voltage with a zener or simply size the coil accordingly?
Once the flyback is run into a cap does the negatricity OU charging
effect in lead acid no longer appear for you?
My experiments with a cap before the battery always ruined the effect
but maybe you have other experiences.
Thanks,
Mick

acid in the 70's, beaverpane...
