Fall is here, winter is just around the corner. I thought it was time to start thinking about a float charger. I have a battery charger, but I've never owned a float charger before. This is on sale now at Harbor Freight for $5.99. Would this be a good choice for the DF battery?

Thanks

Nick,
I use the previous version of that charger with success.

I bought this float sometime ago...

It is adequate enough to maintain a charge on a fully charged, healthy battery...

I on the other hand, employed it to try and revive a dying tractor battery, it of course couldn't do the impossible and i then proceeded to take it apart.

If you take it apart or it has the little window as the one in this pic, you can see that there is a small potentiometer that will allow the voltage adjustment from 6v to near the transformer max of 17v

Which makes it useful for other batteries charging purposes as well...

I would recommend to get a hold of a voltmeter and confirm it is set to at least 12.8 but closer to 13.4v and you should be good to go...

Ok, im looking for the DF engine manufacture, lord knows this thread has listed it in the past, but for the life of me i cant find it...
maybe becuase the thread is filled up with all sorts of nonsense, maybe its cuz the search tool stinks, or maybe im just dense, but any help on confirmation would be appreciated.

Zongshen? Post #1674

I was under the impression that Loncin was the main manufacture of these engines.

Nick, you don't post often, but when you do, you back it up.
ROD doesn't seem to post anymore, but i'll PM him and ask if he ever confirmed it was zongshen...

as i posted before all the nonsense, Ive started to speak to a pro engine machinist about a bore on the stock DF cylinder house, and pressing in new cylinder sleeves.
im hopeful to get it up to 73mm for 272cc displacement.
With that, i know the similar air cooled but 4 valve versions of the cg boasts 22kw.
But there does appear to very little space between the cylinder and bolt holes, so i will also conciser 71, 70, and I'd 69 if i can get his price down to justify the work for only a 243cc end result.

I only wish i knew if that 173fmm was just a bore of the same cylinder head.
But the scarcity of it though tells me it just may be an entire separate thing...
