Bob - do you think it is possible (read that easy) to install the
retrofit kit into an L.R. Taylor cycler? Does ACE say?

Guess this means I should buy the upgrade and bring it in for Charlie
to look at if I can't figure it out.
Gee separated only by a common language.

| If you wish to see the instructions that came with the unit
give me a call at 8-323-4424. I'll be more than happy to send a
photo copy to you.

New information on the Ace/Trickel retrofit. The trickel is
a timer type, meaning that it does not sense a full charge then
goes to trickel. It always charges 14-16 hours then changes to trickel.
Got this info straight from ACE. They feel a healthy, fully charged
battery can withstand an additional 14-16 hours without damage.

| 967.7 | much simpler approach | WRASSE::FRIEDRICHS | Go B's!! | Fri May 12 1989 15:48 | 10 |
| Well, this approach certainly makes the circuitry easier. Anyone
care to enter a schematic ?? Should be a breeze to make. Perhaps
all of use Taylor owners should get together and produce a bunch of
these things...
(keyword cycler and nicad_maintanance added to the base note...)
