Just bought a C170. Is it possible to hook a battery maintainer to it through the
cigar lighter port? It only has a 3 amp breaker
Thanks

Dear Matronics Listers and Matronics Forums Users,
Earlier this week, the database that drives the Matronics Forums System developed
an issue. I was on travel without myy laptop and unable to address the issue
until today.
As of 5:30 PDT June 23, 2020, I am very happy to report it was an easy repair and
the Forums and Email Lists are 100% back up and full online!

Hi Ron
Hmm, folks named Ron seem to be fool enough to purchase 170s! I owned a 1948 for
19 years.
To answer your question, if you have the time, a small charger is fine. I used
a Yuasa 3 step battery charger that was 900mA. I would charge lead acid batteries
from 5amps to 200 amps. I was deep cycling the 200 amp Gel Cell Decka batteries
down to 60% charge. Took a while to charge, but none the less works just
fine. 200 amps times .4 = 80 amps / .9 amps = 89 hours times fudge of lets say
1.3 = 116 hours. If it was below 50F, takes even longer.
Ron P.
