Re: Battery charging system
Ben asked:

The two methods are inductive and conductive.
99.99% of all battery charging is by "conductive" chargers. Basically, you
take a big DC power supply and hook two leads to the battery.
"Inductive" charging is being promoted by GM. Inductive chargers have no
direct wire connection between charger and battery. They use a transformer,
with half of it in the car and half of it in the cord. The energy is coupled
magnetically (inductively). They use high frequencies to make the transformer smaller.
