Hi Guys,
I'm operating from a portable location and using a 12-volt automobile
battery with my K3. To keep the battery charged I'm using a Schumacher 15-Amp
Charger/Maintainer that automatically switches to "Trickle Charge" when the
battery is charged. My concern is that when the charger is connected the
battery voltage is peaking at 16.0 volts. The K3 manual says "maximum
voltage is 15 volts".
Do I need to be concerned about powering the K3 with 16.0 volts?
Thanks,
Dick- K9OM
