My UPS is charging my 75AH Car battery

[Jism]

In a car you dont have a fixed variabel, but a constant switching and dynamic one, pretty much dictated by the engine's current RPM and / or current load onto the battery/alternator. It's just not a ideal situation. I live with a battery usually lasts 3 to 5 years, depending on brand and / or usage. After that replace it with a 75 euro costing one incl. installation and good to go.

Edit: So glad i have a UPS in the first place. Power outtage of exactly a second. It jumped in and prevented from losing my work! TV and all other equipment flew out.

I did want to give my 2 cents here. May hurt feelings.
But you know what???
One of the dumbest things you could do is charge a car battery inside the home. Dont be offended, just Dont do that please.
Automotive batteries are dangerous period.

The altenator charges the battery and runs all system components period. The battery is to simply start the vehicle and nothing more. Should always be at a full charge.

Battery has un told amount of battery life. Not a single person here can predict if a battery is going bad in 1 year or 10, so bragging that your battery lasted 5 years means nothing.

The rpm of the altenator means nothing above usually 1200 rpm. The altenator may create more voltage but the output regulator controls that current so revving your engine really fast during a jump start is pointless.

But yea, charge the car battery not inside the home. Please. People can be seriously injured.

I agree ,car batteries and I would say tyres are a danger no one realises, they blow up bad.

Guys i am very aware that charging car batterys releases gasses, thats why i set it in a place where 2 windows where open.

I cant pull a powercord from 20 meters through the car like that. It was a quick and dirty sollution.

It's the explosion part you'd be worried most about. Might be rare to you, but I've seen it happen on a 10amp charger.
Seen my old boss get it in the eyes. You wanna know how hard it is to help a guy screaming and running in circles is?? Well, you don't want to find out trust me.

But you did what you had to do, but if possible, find some one to just jump start the car. Once the car is running, the alternator will charge the battery, just let it idle for an hour and you'll be good to go.
