Subject:        Battery Charge

Unitrode makes an IC (UC3906) which is a very good lead acid / gelcell
smart
battery charger. This IC requires a minimum of parts, and takes care of all
of
the battery charging functions. My ham radio club is currently using this
IC in
an on-line charger for our club repeater. I do not know what unitrode's web
site
address is, but  their telephone number is 603-429-8725, they are located
in
Merrimack, NH USA. Hope this helps.
