[TenTec] FYI: Inquiry from Batterytender Online

[ss409ss at aol.com]

   You are asking someone who has no concept of what your requirements are. They may in fact have a product that suits your requirements but they simply dont know the answer and gave you the generic "no" to avoid any further contact with you. We as hams run into this alot when using items not designed for amateur radio in amateur radio. You are better off posting your needs here as there are plenty of people who run the hercs off of batteries. The battery idea will work, the chargers vary as most are not designed to be in line with electronic gear when operating and may trip out, cause noise etc... If one of these will not work, look towards backup power chargers for sensitive 12v electronic equipment like repeaters such as UPS systems and some amateur power supplies set up to charge and float batteries.

I had inquired on the LIST regarding battery and charger set-up for the  
HERCULES II. There were several recommendations to use a pair of Trojan T-105  
golf cart batteries in series with a BATTERY TENDER charger/maintainer. After  
looking up the info on the TENDER I noted there were several options. I sent a  
note to the company asking for their recommendation. I am not sure if I 
phrased  the question correctly but this was their reply. I just wanted to pass 
it 
along  to the group.

CHARGER SELECTION QUESTION: I am a ham radio  operator and will be powering 
my Ten Tec Hercules II linear amplifier with  batteries. The power requirement 
for the amp is 12v @ 90-100 amps. I am planning  on using a pair of Trojan 
T-105 golf cart batteries in series. I want to leave  the charger connected at 
all times. Can you help me select the proper charger? I  need one that won\'t 
creat a lot of RF noise so do I need a linear model? Size  and rating? Thanks
