RE: External 24 VDC Battery Maintaining Station Project
Each year I store my vehicles for the winter months, remove the batteries and start a ritual of swapping 12VDC battery maintainers from bank to bank of batteries each week. This year I built a small 24VDC battery maintainer station that will be used to keep each vehicles batteries changed without removing them. Yes, there are a number of articles and opinions about removing the batteries, charging them individually, using 12VDC battery maintainers. And there are a number of articles just the opposite saying 24VDC charging works too. I am getting old and fat – and I am going to give this a try. Here is what I did – this is just my opinion:
There are two types of vehicle auxiliary ports a portable 24VDC battery maintaining station would have to contend with. The new style single pin NATO port and the older style 2 pin port. I have vehicles which use both.
