Hey guys, its been a while since i've been on here so sorry to go straigt in with a question.

I'm worried about the batteries that are used for the Hydraulics. Whats the best way to ensure they stay in good order whilst the car is not being used?

I do have one of those accumates that I use for another car. I could easily use that but as there are 4 batteries that could prove expensive. Unless there is a way of wiring the batteries so I can connect the Accumate to all four at once?

Cheers
Mark

This could be an option, just found this:

Not a cheap option though so other suggestions still very welcome!!

if you rejig you leads so that your 4 become one big 12v batt [ie + to + and - to -]you should be able to use any trickle charger

I was kind of hoping someone would say that. To confirm how would they need 'rejigging?' I want to make sure I make it one big 12v rather than a 96v!!
