FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

QUESTION: Can I plug different voltage or milliamp chargers into Lil' Trickler at the same time?

ANSWER: YES. Lil' Trickler doesn't care about the volts or amps of
the charger. These are determined by your chargers' output, or technically speaking, the secondary side of the charger. Lil' Trickler alters the current supplied to the input or primary side of the charger. For example, you can plug your 1 1/2 volt glo-starter, your 12 volt starter battery, and your 3 volt cordless screwdriver into ONE Lil' Trickler, and keep your whole flightbox "Hot-to-Trot" at all times ! !

QUESTION: Can I run an extension cord from Lil' Trickler to a charger on the other side of my shop?

ANSWER: SURE. Just keep in mind that Lil' Trickler is rated at 20 watts. Don't try to exceed THREE standard chargers.

QUESTION: What rate does Lil' Trickler change my charger to?

ANSWER: Depending on your charger, usually between C/20 to C/50. Normal charge rate is generally C/10. Actually, we need not be concerned about all these difficult to understand numbers. From a layman's viewpoint, we can rest assured that whatever charger is plugged into Lil' Trickler is set at a safe trickle rate for that particular charger.

QUESTION: If there are already chargers in the "trickle mode", can I plug in another charger and move the switch to "standard mode"?

ANSWER:   Yes. It's OK to run most batteries through another charge cycle occassionally, but use common sense here. If this is going to become a habit, best use the wall socket first, then move to Lil' Trickler.

QUESTION: Can Lil' Trickler be used with NiMh battery packs?

ANSWER: YES. The type, volt, and milliamp of the battery does not matter with Lil' Trickler.
