battery in Gray Circuit
Ignition coil(s) are perfectly able to charge HV caps FAST with the right circuits. Just because one circuit you make allows for slow charging only applies to your specific circuit.
The only thing that the battery could contribute to the effect is the mixing of hv low amps and high amp low voltage.
When the HV cap discharges, it jumps into the diode. The diode closes because and the HV cap potential that is hanging out without a fixed ground at that point jumps to the grids. AFTER the voltage on that side of the diode goes BELOW the 12v battery voltage, the diode opens back up and the battery MAY OR MAY NOT discharge to the grid piggybacking on the tail end of the HV potential that is acting as a conductive pathway for a low to go over.
So, you MAY have 12-14 volts at whatever amperage being added to 4000v+ at low amps.
The battery here is equivelant to the booster cap in the water sparkplug circuit where the booster cap (low voltage too low to jump a gap on its own) CAN and WILL jump the gap using the HV potential moving across the gap as a conductor for it.
Mentions of the battery charging the capacitor by Gray is simply that the high frequency step up circuit used to charge the capacitor is powered by a battery...that doesn't have anything to do with a battery being connected directly to the HV capacitor.
Gray also shows the circuit to charge the capacitor does NOT have to be powered by a battery and can be powered directly from wall power.
