Talking Recharging batteries...

My Scooter has a standard..scooter PLUG for Charging a 24-volt System..
that is..its charging the batteries..together..
I've changed that by adding a BATT-separator..
I use 2-12volt BATT Chargers...and run about 6-AMP Charge RATES for 2-1/12 hours...
for my 18-ah InterState Battery's...I then Close the BATT-separator and use the 24-volt Charger as a maintainer ONLY..its basically a Analyzer these days(only)...
===
What I have found..is that the 2-12-volts BATTS..don't Charge properly...
..the REAR BATT..tends to do all the work..while the FORWARD BATT just sits in the circuit..
..you could by some measure just keep replacing the REAR BATT..more often than the FORWARD BATT...
===
I would not suggest getting a more HIGH Powered 24-volt Charger either...or what-ever the VOLT---
===
Create a BATT Separator useing 12-VOLT Battery Chargers...at a higher AMP..Rate...
..it takes away the convienance of the PLUG&PLAY-function...
But I find a more READY-System..it doesn't really seem to change performance..
===
Also...useing your Batteries every day..is a bit rough on them...
If at all possible...having a CHARGE Station..at some Half-way POINT..would FIX...many issues..
===
I'm still working on a Battery Charger..that FIXED to the FRAME...for a 20-minute STOP&Charge...
..something like the automobile uses...needing some 2000-RPMS..and a Regulator..
You can not charge your batteries as you use them/[end]
