I purchased a 71 VW squareback that has been converted to electric. It has 12 lead acid batteries. The car is 144 vdc?
It looks like the builder made a battery charger (looks like a bad boy) from a donut of wire (i assume an inductor), switches, and a bridge rectifier. The charger only puts out 120 vdc. Plus the 240v input side is now blowing fuses.
I was thinking of buying 4 three bank marine chargers and charge individual batteries. What do you think?
Also, three or four of the batteries need to be replaced. Some are walmart Maxx 29, some are marine "Mega Tron", some are unknown? I do not think its to ggod to mix batteries but I do not want to buy 12 batteries at $100 each. Any suggestions?
