You can jumpstart with a car battery, no problem.

But don’t try to charge it from the car. That is, don’t hook up the cables and leave the car running to charge the battery. The car generator output is much higher than the motorcycle battery is designed to receive, and you can damage it that way.

The battery cap they are refering to is the little cup like thing that is shown in the picture near the bottom of page 7 on the left hand side where it says:

RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
NOTE For best performance and safety, use only the
Oregon Scientific 3000mAh rechargeable batteries
supplied with the iBall. Using other brands or types of
rechargeable batteries may damage the unit.
1. Select any 1 of the 6 Oregon Scientific
rechargeable batteries and fit the supplied battery
cap over the top of the “_” terminal.
2. Open the battery compartment cover.
3. Place the battery with cap into the specified battery
slot of the battery compartment and insert the
remaining 5 batteries according to the correct
polarity indicators.
4. Close the battery cover.

The picture right under these instructions shows a battery being inserted into the cap. According to the directions it came with the device. If you still have the packing material look through it and make sure it’s not stuck in it someplace.
I hope you find it.

Well, There might be one out there, just keep looking at the most expensive one and you might get lucky.

What you need to know is that most battery’s cells are made in Japan but are assembled in China.

Almost all battery chargers are made in China, because of the cost of production.

Ferrari Vs Ferrari Video wanted?
I’m looking for a video where 4 different models of ferrari race on the same circuit. Where Schumacher starts last with F1 and finishes as number 1. He was seen having tea while other ferraris starts off first.

Please share the video.

Thanks.

If google and manufacturer website are of no help then ask a search agency like http://manualfox.com – They find you every manual. The service is not for free, but often worthy (you only pay if they find what you are asking for).

Use the higher amp setting when you want to charge the battery faster. Either is OK but the 2 amp setting will take three times as long to charge the battery.
If your car sets a lot, you should use the2 amp setting about once a week to ten days to keep the battery at top charge. Do not charge the battery this way unless the setting time is well over a week as overcharging is not good for the battery.

You cannot convert watts to amps, since watts are power and amps are coulombs per second (like converting apples to miles). If you have at least least two of the following three: amps, volts and watts then the missing one can be calculated. Since watts are amps multiplied by volts, there is a simple relationship between them.

Converting Watts to Amps
The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts

For example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp
Converting Amps to Watts
The conversion of Amps to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts
For example 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts

Converting Watts to Volts
The conversion of Watts to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps
For example 100 watts/10 amps = 10 volts

Converting Volts to Watts
The conversion of Volts to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts

For example 1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts
Converting Volts to Amps at fixed wattage

The conversion of Volts to Amps is governed by the equations Amps = Watts/Volts
For example 120 watts/110 volts = 1.09 amps

Converting Amps to Volts at fixed wattage
The conversion of Amps to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps
For Example, 48 watts / 12 Amps = 4 Volts

Amps are how many electrons flow past a certain point per second. Volts is a measure of how much force that each electron is under. Think of water in a hose. A gallon a minute (think amps) just dribbles out if it is under low pressure (think voltage). But if you restrict the end of the hose, letting the pressure build up, the water can have more power (like watts), even though it is still only one gallon a minute. In fact the power can grow enormous as the pressure builds, to the point that a water knife can cut a sheet of glass. In the same manner as the voltage is increased a small amount of current can turn into a lot of watts.

In theory 2 60 amp hour batts would give 120 amp hours but in practise it is not the case. The wiring has resistance, and you would probably never get the batts to accept a complete charge etc.

ADDED: OK sorry, I thought you might have needed a troubleshooting guide, Sorry I couldn’t help you on this one although you might want to check out this site http://wizbandit.wordpress.com/2008/08/12/hacking-the-schumacher-speed-charge-for-phev-ev-use/ as they explain the operation of (The Power Brick) – The Constant Current power supply used in the SC-600A
