Charging sealed lead acid battery.

Post by carlosr »

Hello,

Im using adafruit motor shield V2.0 to controll smart car using a 12V SLA battery.

But the battery is running out of juice and I have a PSU at home. Can i straight hook the battery to the PSU at 14V?

Greetings

We are not experts in SLA battery charging. For safety and best battery life, we would suggest using a charger designed for the purpose.
