I have so many pieces of equipment and assorted vehicles that it seems that one of my major expenses is just keeping batteries working in my various pieces of equipment. My latest challenge is figuring out what is the best method of keeping a 24v system charged. My Tak TB175 simply has 2 large Interstate batteries in a series, giving the machine 24 volts. I've tried putting a 12v trickle charger on each of the 12v batteries, but that doesn't seem to work and it's a bit** to jump start! From what I've seen, 24v trickle chargers seem mighty spendy. Any ideas or what others with 24v systems are doing? I do not run my equipment nearly as much over winter months, but I can't afford to buy a few thousand dollars of batteries every spring! Help.....please.
