Recently we have bought a few portable gardening battery operated machines which require the battery to be charged for a set time otherwise the battery overheats and can be suffer damage, one is 8 hrs the other 5hrs. I assume they have constant current chargers, the charging current not being dependant on the back voltage of the battery.
I require a timer which would plug into a 13A socket which has a simple 10 or 5 position rotary switch on the front graduated in say 1 to 10 hrs with a big button on the top which will switch it on, it will then count down and switch off.
At the moment SWMBO is leaving bits of paper with time-off reminders all over the house and I would like a more elegant solution. There are plenty of cheap standard on/off timers about but has anyone come across a countdown timer as described and where can I get one.
