If you want to change it... typically adding resistance onto a lead (preferably the "hot" lead, not the ground lead) will lower the "open" voltage, and reducing resistance on that lead will raise the "open" voltage.
Just adding a resistor to the lead will not reduce the open voltage. However, it will reduce the voltage under load.
Yes and yes. And choosing hot/ground lead makes no difference in this regard. It is impossible to control the trickle charge voltage with resistors, no matter what configuration; you need active circuits for this. A diode would do the trick, though (0.6 V). Probably too much. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
