Re: (ET) Batteries

["John Sellers" <jsellers netins net>]

Thanks for the help, I think I will go with three 12 volt at this time. When I used it many years ago it was enough to do what needed to be done. The area is even smaller now.. As for the charger, the original is gone. I do have a golf car charger I will use for now, it was being used when the tractor was last in use about 15 years ago...The original transformer is not in good shape and other parts are missing... Everything else looks to be in good shape..

 

Thanks.

You'll also have to change out the timer as the timer on the E8M's were made to charge (3) 12V. The "heavy duty kit" included additional wires, cables, battery trays and bags. Hope this helps.
