What would happen if i try to charge a 12 volt 130 AH battery with a 31 volt printer adaptor.
also tell me what would happen if i suppliment my battery which is bieng charged by a ups with a 12volt 6 amp adaptor, i mean would that mean that i am now giving the battery 24 volts of charge, like 12 volts of the adaptor and 12 voltsby the ups.
Another way is to place it in te trunk of a car and charge it along with the existing battery, although it would take a little circuit to avoid the aux battery draining the starter battery.

RED +5 VDC All red wires common to each otherYELLOW [...]regarding pc power supply i got the above info from some website which i dont remember now. so how can i utilise this power supply to make 15 or 16 volts out of it to charge the 12 v 130 ah battery(lead acid).
i am not at all good at electronics, seems to me that i have to buy a 16 volt charger.
When i shake my battery and then remove the caps [...]
[...] from the six cells, the acid inside the battery is sort of dirty greyish, the grey particles then settles after some times.what are these and would they remain in the acid for ever of should i change the acid of the battery?
It sounds like a regular car battery charger would work to charge this 12 Volt battery. I have one in my garage that I have not used for many years. I suspect many others do too. So if you do not want to buy one, you could probably beg, borrow or (preferably not this last) steal one.
I don't mean to hijack the thread. But you mentioned not leaving the caps on when charging. Are the caps supposed to be removed when charging?
Also, when charging a deep discharge 12 Volt lead-acid battery, I sometimes hear some bubbling sounds. Is this unusual, or dangerous? I do make sure that the space is well-ventilated.
