Hello
I have a portable device that was originally two 2.6 Ah 12v AGM batteries wired in series and charged via a 24v charger. I am upgrading the amp hours of the batteries just because they are what is available. I need to figure out a charger since I do not have the original. I will not be in any rush to rapid charge but it will likely go for weeks or months without use so I want something I can leave hooked up. Also we get many power outages so I am looking for something that can lose power, get power back, and go back to charging without human input. If I need to use two 12v chargers that is fine I have connectors to sort that out.
I am guessing what would work is if I could find an old UPS with dead batteries that was set up for 24v. If anyone has one or two they are willing to part with…..
Or an off the shelf smart charger that automatically starts.
Thanks in advance for advice
