Re: (ET) 36V Charger
These are 1, 2, and 4 amp chargers and as such are too small for the
golf cart type batteries usually used in ETs.
- If you have used the ET fairly heavily, the batteries will need
100-150 A-hrs replaced, which would take 25-150 hours to complete the
bulk charge and then a few more hours to top off... ie DAYS until
completion.
- to get batteries of this size to "gas" for equalization, around 3 amps
is generally needed. So the 4 amp model is the only one big enough.
Or changing my mind a little, for those who don't use the ET very often
and/or for long run times, the 4 amp model may be big enough to be
useful. It does have the advantage of providing float charge
capabilities (although not temperature compensated). The 1- and 2- amp
version are just too small to be useful.
