I have a Black & Decker 12V cordless drill. By the battery voltage you can tell it's old, but it works well and the batteries are good. I have the original slow OEM charger which has a power brick. I want to hack it to use solar power for charging. I have another fast charger that plugs directly into the wall, so hacking the old one is no loss.
The output of the brick is 14.5V. Is the load output of my SCC sufficient to charge the drill batteries? It would be the only thing I connect to the load terminal on the SCC and it's not essential that it's working all the time. I'm just looking for a way to keep the battery topped off without shore power and hoping to not have to resort to using the inverter.
