I am not sure to what the "it did" refers, but for the induction coils I made, I think the primary was wound in 20 or 22 SWG enamelled copper wire. This is about 1 mm in diameter and the resistance of the primary would be very low indeed. Probably the current would exceed the limit for your charger diodes.
