    12v 0.5A auto trickle charger

    The charger had its ends cut off. The cable from the charger does not indicate which is pos & neg. A volt meter across the end does not register because the charger seems to need a feed back voltage before it will charge. How can I test for which cable is neg and which pos?

    Is there any reason why I should not be able to connect a corded telephone to a BT wall socket using Powerline adapters? I notice on amazon there are a number of adapter cables that I think would work but first I need to sort out if the electronics would permit it.
