Re: (ET) Fw: GE Elec Trak



Solar Converters makes several 36 volts charge controllers. WWW.altenergystore.com is where I bought mine after giving up on getting the sc18. Searching the archive will yield a ton of opinions on batteries, basically you are looking at 6volt Holt cart batteries.

Hope that helps.
