Motorola Bag Phone Batteries

| Howdy:
I have some Motorola bag phone batteries, that I would like to recharge
thru my vehicle's cigar lighter, while on the road. The batteries I have
are SNN 4298 A -1 (sealed lead acid).
Making an adapter with a voltmeter (and ohmmeter if necessary) and
enclosing same in a covered battery box, is no problem.
What I need to know, is the charging times for the batteries, when
they're at various states-of-charge (or discharge, if you will).
IOW: X-number of hours for a battery discharged down to 11V; X-number of
hours for a battery discharged to 11.5 V, etc, when hooked up to the
vehicle's 12V 60A alternator.
I would really appreciate any comments and advice from readers who have
charged the same, or similar batteries, in this manner.
Thanks,
TD

TD, the man with probably the best advice to offer is Larry - Larry W4CSC ,
in the Verizon newsgroup and he has a ton of bag phones.

Been there, done that already. Larry's the Man With The Plan. Saved the
day with a ballast resistor. Thanks, Bob!
