12 volt Charging system

[gerald]

Anyone know how I can go about charging a 36 volt battery pack using exsisting 12 volt charger? I'd like to be able to top my batteries off using the 12 volt charger I currently have for charging the exsisting battery packs ..

ie: would I need to disconnect any cables?

Any help or thought given to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I do have a 36 volt charger. My goal is to charge batteries individually with a 12 volt charger to check voltage level

No need to remove any cables. Attach you clamps to the terminals shown for the first pair of batteries. When done, move upstream to batteries 3 & 4. Prove it to yourself with a voltmeter first.

Thank you very much for the knowledge and quick response

Gorno, What is the aluminum foil looking stuff under the battery in this
picture. (I know was taken before you went to 48 volts) Just curious.

Craigy, the foil was an attempt to reflect the blue neon lights more to the ground. It worked great, but the foil kept blowing off in the breeze. Wasn't worth the trouble, so they were removed.
