Car Charger from Sony EX50 Transformer
From the Sony EX50 Specs, 110W RMS continuous into 6 ohm, TAM transformer, has a 28V RMS winding, giving about a 36V peak DC ouput after rectification in reality (now built, it shows this). The continuous AC speaker output is 110W/V = 4A Max. Should be OK to charge a car battery, not great. Will ... Car Charger from Sony EX50 Transformer
