Battery maintainers-bought and put to work
I was asking questions about forklift batteries here long ago and some members suggested putting one 12v. Maintainer across each series chain of six cells. So recently I noticed Walmart had Schumacher (good battery stuff) maintainers Online for $16. and change, best price I’ve ever seen, and if you spend what, $35., free shipping. So I bought many to cover a few vehicle batteries. Here are pix of first vehicle hooked up, an electric pallet jack. These little boxes have a desulfating mode too, which eases my former uneasiness about batteries that just sit idle most of the time. You connect one maintainer to the + and - ends of each in-series chain of six cells, so for 36v. Battery with 18 cells, you need three maintainers.
