    The horn only draws the amperage it needs. The battery charger can't force more through it than the coil will draw. You could have a 1000 amp battery charger, and it wouldn't make a difference - as long as it was six volts. However, a short test would be a good idea. Horns aren't made to blow continuously.

    I run across a few people that seem to think differently.
