It is considered likely that with WGN WSAT provides “A” current - from the light socket—$10 Thischarger may be connected to any 6 voltradio* A”battery of 30 ampere hour capacity ormore and left permanently on charge. Used in this manner it converts your “A” battery into a per- manent"A”power unit that operates from the light socket and automatically furnishesfull currenttothe"A”circuitatall times. With any smaller battery[4volt or small6volt]this charger may be used as an intermittent charger of the usual type, or as a trickle charger if a resistance is added to cut down the charging rate to the needs of the set. ‘When used as a trickle charger, as an added convenience, some owners add a switch which cuts out the charger during operation. Switches of this type also turn ~n Balkite“B"when the set is turned on, thus providing an entirely automatic cur- rent supply for both circuits. The Balki‘e Trickle Charger is 574 in. long, 234 in. wide, 5 in. high. It may be put in the usual dry cell compartment. Charging rate .4 to .5 amperes. Current consumption 1/10¢ per hour. Operates from110-120 AC 60 cycle current. Special model for 50 cycles. Noiseless—No bulbs— Permanent Like all other Balkite Radio Power Units the Balkite Trickle Charger is entirely noiseless in operation, and is a permanent piece of equipment, with no bulbs or moving parts, and noth- ing to replace, break or get out of order.
