I'm making a Deer-Alarm to keep the deer out of my yard, thus saving my trees and shrubs / and as a good mental exercise.
It consists of a Motion Detector, 'flashing' LED Lights and a 'loud' Buzzer / all 12 volts.
The Alarm (plastic box) is 4" x 6" x 6" with as large a 12 volt battery as I could find.
I'm sure I will need to occasionally charge the Battery / maybe yearly ?
I included a Voltage Meter to monitor Battery.
I thought of making 'the charging' easier by having a (+) & (-) wire come out the back of Alarm,
to which I would connect the Charger (Battery Tender/slow charge) without having to open the unit up.
Battery Info:
12 Volts / 5Ah
Lead-Acid / AGM Type
Sealed / Non-Spillable
My questions are:
1) Would 'slow' charging this Battery (say from 10 V back to 12 V) create any gasses that would
create corrosive problems (inside the Alarm box) ?
Plastic Box will be as air,water-tight as I can make it.
2) Or should I just settle for removing the Cover any time Battery needs charging ?
3) Will I have to worry about corrosive gases building up between charges ?
Thank you for any advise.
