do-able
but
forget it............

the best you will end up with is a charging system that will keep charged batteries topped up.
you can do that with a charger at night when you need to.

what you NEED to do is be able to recharge when you have flattened your batts.......... the only way to do that iswith big amps and you wont get that from your alternator without driving 100;s of miles or sitting reving the bollocks of it for hours

i've heard mixed opinions on these... but the consensus seems to be not to bother, as FD says no matter what you do, yer gonna just be topping up all the time.....

street chargers............. again, same as fatdaddy says 8) they keep em topped up, only any good if all you do is lift it to drive, but lets face it, you're gonna have a play :lol:

Speek to christoff I'm sure he rigged a charger in his car with a retractable 240 cord offa old hoover.

That way you can bark up and plug in without fuckin about digging your charger out ect.

Golf cart chargers. It's the way forward!

36v and 8amps. I run one per bank, and they give a good charge in 12 hours...

have you tried drop testing them individually ant?..... they have been part of the install since the car was built (2003?)... always tried to keep them topped up with water and charged when the car wasn't in use.It may be just one or two that are duff and bringing the rest down and lowering preformance.......... get them tested!
