36 volt charging

Posted by Rob on July 24, 2005, 8:41 pm

Hi all. I've been blessed (Cursed) with a 36 Volt 3.33 Amp PSW inverter

(2 actually).

I am wondering instead of trying to find a 36 volt charger,

can I use three 12 Volt chargers? One hooked to each battery?

Same type/rating of 12v charger.

TIA ................Rob

That will work, though it may not be worthwhile for a 120W inverter...

Oh, it's 3.33 amps output! When you said "36 Volt 3.33 Amp" I thought
you meant input. Depending on your battery bank you might look for a
used golf-cart charger, new ones are mostly 48V, but they all used to
be 36V...
