I have a genie man lift and I have an interesting problem that has led me to find a better solution. The genie is battery powered and has an external batter charger that rides on the back and hooks to the battery via aligator clips. Whenever the genie is not being used we like to plug the charger into the wall to ensure the battery is always fresh and ready for the next use. The problem is, when you leave the alligator clips on the battery for any amount of time without the charger plugged into the wall the battery is drained via the alligator clips on the battery. I am curious if anybody knows of something like a diod that would restrict the battery charger from draining the battery. This way the alligator clips of the battery charger could always be left on the battery.
