Without knowing the maximum output current it was designed to produce it isn't possible to say exactly how much voltage a charger produces. Also, was it intended to give a slow or a fast charge? In general all that can be said is that the output voltage of a battery charger must always be slightly higher than the nominal voltage of the battery it was designed to charge. This is for the simple reason that it won't be able to put any charge into the battery unless the charger's "on-load" voltage is higher than the battery's voltage. For the same reason, a charger which can deliver a high output current (amps) will need a higher "on-load" output voltage than a charger which can only deliver a low current. Also, when it is switched on but is not connected to a battery, the output voltage of any charger will always be higher than when it is doing its job of charging a battery. That voltage is called the "no-load" voltage. Assuming the battery being charged is a standard low-voltage type, of less than, say, 24 volts DC, it is quite safe, using a standard electrician's voltmeter, to measure the load and no-load voltages of the charger as described above.

Can you charge two 12 volt batteries wired in series without disconnecting them with a 12 volt charger?
No, since in series they are 24 volts so you need to charge each one independently with the 12 volt charger. This may be done disconnected or leave them connected and put the charger on the + - of the same battery.
Can you put a turbo charger a on a dodge charger?
Turbo chargers and Super chargers will both fit on Dodge Chargers
What is 6 amps to volts?
I have an amplifier which uses a 6 amp fast burn fuse. It does not specifiy the volts to use on the fuse all it says is that it is a 120 volt line. My question is can I use a 6 amp 250 volt fuse on the amp? =================================== -- Yes. Go ahead and use the 6-Amp 250-volt fuse in the amplifier. Make sure that the replacement is a fast-blow, like the one you're replacing. -- The explanation you included with your question was very helpful. But next time you post a question with extra information, put the extra information on the "Discussion Page" of the question. In this case, you have put the explanation where the answer should go. When you do that, the system thinks your question has been answered, your question sinks to the bottom of the pile, it's no longer listed among the new questions, and after a short while, it disappears completely from the category page. I was lucky to notice your question before it vanished.
Will the magnetic pull disappear when alternator is bad?
The way to test an alternator is to take it out and take it to a parts store, most will test it for free. If you want to test your alternator yourself you will need a volt meter. Start the car and have someone rev the motor to 2000 rpms and put your volt meter across the battery terminals ( pos to pos, neg to neg ). You should read 13.5 to 14 volts. If the reading is higher the voltage regulator is bad. If the reading is lower your alternator is not charging the battery sufficiently.
How long does it take to charge a 12 volt 20ah golf trolley battery?
There is no specific answer. It's like asking how long it takes to fill the gas tank in a car. There is chemical energy in gasoline, and also in the battery electrolyte. How much energy was taken out? The more that was taken out, the longer it will take to put it back in. And what is the original capacity of the battery? There is a limit on how fast the tank can be filled or the battery charged, too. This will also affect recharge time. To some degree, the capacity of the charger to deliver "optimal" charging amperage contributes to the recharge time. Lots of variables, lots of uncertainty.

How many volts will a new 12 vot car battery put out?
A fully charged 12 volt battery will output 12.6 volts are read with a digital volt meter.
How many amps will a 0.25 kilo volt amp transformer at 120 volts put out?
2.083 amps
Can you charge a 12 volt ATV battery with a regular charger and if so what to put it on?
Yes, you can use a twelve volt car battery charger. Be sure to set it on low.
Why does 220 volt line put out 250 volts?
A 220 volt line may put out 250 volts because this specification features voltage that varies between 220 and 250 volts. In other countries, the electricity varies in voltage between 110-120 volts.
Can you use a 3.5 amp charger to charge a 12 volt battery?
You can charge a 12 volt battery with a 6 AMP charger. The amount of amps put out by the charger is actually the rate which the power flows out from the charger, not the amount of volts it will charge. Volts and Amps are two different things. You can't charge up a 12 volt battery all the way, using a 6 volt charger. You can charge a 12 volt battery with a 12 volt charger rated at '6 amps'. It will charge the battery faster than a 2 amp charger will, but it will take longer than using a 12 amp charger. You probably don't want to use anything higher than a 12-16 amp charger for charging a 12 volt battery. Some chargers are equipped with a 60amp boost charge that is used for starting the vehicle, without having much of a charge in the battery. You DO NOT want to attempt charging a battery with it set to a 60amp boost charge. That is for starting vehicles only and could damage your battery. Keep in mind that the lower the amps are, that you use to charge the battery (1-2amps), will result in the charge lasting longer without recharging it, than if it was charged up at a higher setting (12-16amps).
What Voltage is expected for a 1998 dodge ram?

Why not put a 12 volt motor to replace the 120 volt motor in your freezer Will this work?
The voltage of 120 volts is more common that the lower voltage of 12 volts.
