I am not understanding how its such a pain? Just buy a 48 volt charger... Or just buy more than one 12 volt charger... My charger will charge 48-72 volts.. Sounds easy to me.. Everytime..

Best charger ever.

1.25 amps.

You can charge four batteries at the same time without re-wiring them in parallel.

$170 with free shipping on eBay.

i had 4 interstates 48v in my caddy with the street charger and i still charged like once a month so it always had that fresh charge pop in the switch and i hit switches ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!

It's kinda hard to say.

I was always paranoid about solenoids sticking, so I always kept my batteries topped off.

I charged them EVERY night after a day of cruising. They were fully charged by morning.

I love streetchargers, i ran one on my escort i drove daily for a year at 48v w 4 workoholics. I never had any issues, i wired it to only come on on iginition, im going to put it on my f150 too.

Ran 48volts on my mazda with a streetcharger and never had to mess with them again. Befor i had the streetcharger maby one time every 4 to 6 weeks depends on how new it is to you. Iv been hitten switches sinces 96 i just use it to lift me to get me going now really never play with it unless some young punk thinks he has somthing then you gota lol. Rebulding my mazda now just gona run 36 and charge with a 12volt charger and disconnect them when i do it its not that much trouble.
