[RFI] Battery charger RFI

[Turner, Bob]

Trickle charger, not same thing as maintenance charger or whatever its
called.  A trickle charger will probably overcharge.  I've got two
maintenance chargers.  Once makes RF interference on my TV, one does not.
TV is over the air reception.  I would not expect FCC to help you/us with
something so trivial (to them).

Perhaps find out more details on charger.  If it is really a trickle charger
AND if battery has no load 24/7, it will probably overcharge.  Overcharge
will reduce battery life.  Therefore he needs something else, like a
maintenance charger (it turns off before overcharging).  Help him find the
right one.

Unless I am missing something, don't worry too much about it - you have 
asked him politely to cease causing you unintentional interference, he 
has refused, next stop - call the FCC - they will stop him!
