Wouldn't it be much simpler to charge the battery B4 installing it ?  playing safe that way   Mark Holman mark.holman at talkamerica dot net ----- Original Message ----- From: Per Molund To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2005 8:42 AM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Vertex VXR-7000 battery backup We have recently accuired a Vertex VXR-7000 repeater for 70 cm ham service and planned to hook it up to our site battery backup system (~650 Ah with dedicated charger). However the repeater manual states "Never reapply AC power to the repeater with a discharged battery connected, as the DC startup current can damage the repeater and battery". Does anyone know if the repeater trickle charger can be disabled? The minimal manual included with the repeater doesn't tell. regards, ---per Yahoo!
