If I use (2) of your 9Ah 12v batteries in series, would you recommend your 24v charger? I plan to put them together in a 24v pack for an eZip bicycle

The company says that don't do it. I found that the SLA charger for the Currie battery works but will not charge to the full 29.2V. for that you need a LIFEPO4 charger

All batteries of the same amps can be used in series with no problems! the 12v in series may actually come down to 24-28V, as these li batteries give a tad more voltage; so make sure you got a good charger!

Well the two batteries never mix. The bicycle has a left and right switch. You will only useone battery at a time. Don't mix the chargers and you should be fine. (smile)

For me, I am currently using a LifePo4 48Volt battery pack. However, I started with a 48Volt SLA pack, (or Lead Acid Battery). This will consist of 4 x 12v 10amh batteries connected in "series". You can use 4 x 12v 12amh as well or, 4 x 12v 8amh, if you want something lighter in weight, but any of these configurations will work. It really depends on the distance you travel and how much weight you want your bike to carry. I prefer Lithium batteries for weight distribution, but Lead Acid works fine for starting out and it's a much cheaper option. With either option, be sure to get a smart charger with low amps. You do not want anything that provides a fast charge. Always think in terms of deep cycle charging. If you need any recommendations, just reply to this post. I hope this helps.

Yes, that is what I bought these batteries for. They are both still working great, nice to have 2 batteries - always have a spare. Would recommend getting a separate charger also.

this is a 24volt charger. I think you need to find a 12volt charger to meet your needs.

you need 24 vdc battery you can get 2 12vdc deep cycle batteries and connect them together Negative to positive that leves a neg and pos open this will give you the 24 vdc that is comming out of the panels and your charger will need to be 24 -48 vdc theses panels out put at 30vdc

wjacb seems very confused.- A 12 volt charger on a 36 volt system will get you nowhere... As to the charging time, it depends on output of charger in A/h and capacity of batteries.- Hope you're having fun... the General...

If u look up ah on the internet it tells u that the higher the number the longer the battery runs. If u r replacing the old batteries and still use the same case the charger is the same unless the original batteries are 12ah. Then check the charger to see if is meant to handle a larger capacity. I found mine worked great but the charger adapter is loose so the charge doesn't hold long. I need new charger available on Amazon.

hi I use the charger that came with the 4 batteries I got with the set.. works fine for me...

For 36V, the charger will only supply 12.5A. I believe it's the same for 48V.

Probably not. Your battery pack is giving you 10 watts peak, Your charger needs 9.6 watts. This requires the converter to be 96% efficient. It probably can't make this. Do you know if your 12v device really does need a full 0.8A? Is is that just the max rating of the charger you are trying to replace?

This pack has 2 batteries in it, can either provide 12v @ 36Ah wired in parallel or 24v @ 18Ah wired in series. Google for 12v 18Ah to see other's specs, but each 12v battery in this pair is approx 7.1x3x6.6 (inches) and weighs around 12-13lbs. If you made an appropriate mount, these would fit nicely packed in a bike frame - but again, using 3 of them you will hit close to 40lbs for 36v@18Ah.

First, thanks to Kevin for telling us that the adapter is a 12volt adapter (from the label). I just want to add that my battery pack - as I suspected - outputs 9 volts; the six AA batteries are indeed in series. Therefore, I suspect anything from 9-12 volts should work. Also worth noting is that when my batteries died the other day, I just rotated them and am getting some more use out of them; I expect to have a power source fabricated by the time I need to replace the batteries.

You should look at running 2 - possible 3 100 watt panels, if an upgrade for future look at 10 gauge panel wire, it seems your running 12 volt, but your inverter and charger will depend. I've got a 40 amp 12/24 charger but batteries will run at 12 bought in a kit with 6 100 watt panels but told to only run 5 as my 60 amp also takes 1600 watts if at 24, but running at 12 so 800 watts mix up and I was sent a 12 both are mppt, you can probably run 5-6 100 watts if you have 2/ 25 amps combined, if not mppt they will keep charging but at a lower rate will destroy your batteries if not in use all the time, go with 10 gauge wire you will be happier.

This should work (http://www.amazon.com/Maximal-FC999-Universal-Alkaline-Batteries/dp/B008467K1E/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid;=1373460809&sr;=8-16&keywords=battery+charger). Also, I've been looking into Tesla Chargers which bring the potential of batteries back to 100% but I don't see one yet for simple batteries, just 12V (http://teslachargers.com/products.html).

I believe the short answer wouild be no. First they are not likely to physically fit your 12 volt model and second, putting the wrong power rated batteries in your device would likely damage it. Finally the charger that came with you 12 volt model "may" not have the capacity to recharge 14.4 volt batteries. Your much better off to use the batteries the manufacture calls for. Good luck.

I love this battery charger ,on 12 amps should get you charged in a couple of hours
