My car battery is oversized for the car. *The battery is a bit old
but usually works fine. *The battery is flat (I left the lights
on).
My fancy new modern charger senses a poor battery and only puts in
very little charge.
I used to use a really old charger to charge this battery
successfully. *I opened up the old charger and saw it was only a
transformer and a big rectifier. That's it. *No soothing.
Is this ok for a car battery or is it way too crude?
Check the electrolyte level in your battery.Filtered DC causes *
polarization
of the battery.

An unpolarised battery isn't much use.
An AC battery would be darn handy...
