In another thread, I saw mention of using mains power as a quick and dirty boost charge lead.
The idea seemed to be rectify the mains, and pass it through a halogen bulb to drop voltage and limit current . I am thinking that carrying halogen bulb is going to be a pain, and it is just going to get vibrated to bits, the filament just wont last
Am looking to charge 20s LiPo pack, so need 82 volts or so
Thinking may be half wave rectify to give a lower rectified voltage than full wave
Who els has done this ? What else is needed.. am working on 240 volt mains here in uk,not 120 so have more volts to loose than you guys is USA
