[Healeys] Is the List down? and question about power supplies for Eastwood plater

[Bob Spidell]

Note a charger has to supply greater than the nominal battery voltage in 
order to overcome the internal resistance of the battery.  Also, if the 
plater has less load than the internal resistance of the batteries you 
could overload the charger.

I think Kees' suggestion of a DC power supply sounds like the best bet.
