Hi everyone!

Any reason why AC can't be used to charge a car battery? Reason I'm
asking is that I have an old Fedtro Powerhouse charger
which is outputting AC.
yeah sure, put the battery on a turn table and electrodes off the side
and the spin the table at 50/60hz, what ever your country system is.

Have this magical little charger of yours make contact on the
electrodes at the appropriate time.

or, one could simply get a bridge rectifier and maybe a resistor
(ballast) for current limiting.
