Battery Charger I imagine this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Schumacher-SpeedCharge-6-Amp-Battery-Charger/13005743 will work just fine for charging a car battery! :)- maxlds

Basic, Quick Question
Resolved First off, I just wanted to thank you all for your thoughts. I ended up grabbing a windshield wiper motor from an old car, and took the battery as well. I figure that I'll just drop those in the cart and power it along a track made of PVC pipe. I imagine the battery will last for...- maxlds

Very helpful replies, thank you! I just want to make sure I'm clear: 1. 24v dc will be just fine. Even though the motor reads 330 amps, I don't have to worry about the amps because...? 2. The track would only be outside for a month, and I don't get much rain where I live. I'm sure...- maxlds

Basic, Quick Question
You'll have to forgive me. I'm new to the electronics scene, and I just want to make sure I don't do anything stupid. So, I want to basically create a big slot car track where the cart will sit on the electrified track and be power by a motor. I'll transform 120vac to 12 or 24vdc...- maxlds
