If the TOTAL voltage of the pack is 36V, it's fine.  So if the batteries are each two 12V in parallel, and three of these sets of two in series, you are OK. 

Any other combination will NOT work.  I don't know if that is what the original wiring was.

Hi

Here the question. My new E-141 doesn't have a working charger, I knew this when I bought it. However, I do have a regular Elec-Trak charger in a plywood box. The E-141 connect 6 12V batteries in series/parallel. Will, the ET charger be able to handle charge these while they are still connected s/p battery back.  Assuming I connect to the 36V Positive, Negative common nodes of the bank. These are batteries and NAPA deep cycle marine not the 12V GC types.

    While I've got your attention does anybody have the diagrams for the E-141 charger and if you do I could really uses a copy.

 

Thanks
