eBay?

Always the first place I look.  Just a couple on there but nothing worth the money.  I have now ordered one which I hope will be right.  

 

This is will be fourth time lucky.  First one went pop after a year or so ( only cost £15) next one a proper industrial forklift charger but turned out to be 24 volt not 36, then got one via eBay sent from America which went pop after 6 weeks and cost £160.  

 

So so cross fingers I have got it right this time.  The manufacturer of the truck will sell me one for just over a grand...

You are right it is six batteries at six volts each and 225 AH.  But what is a ctek? 

Ctek are 'smart' battery chargers. Depending on what sort of batteries you have they will charge accordingly. My 12 v batteries need to get to 14.4v, then go into a float charge until I get a reading of 13.8, after a rest period,  you could use a smart charger, plug n play on your machine, it would be a faff, but it would keep you up n running.

so they are in series, you could just undo 1 link between battery 4 and 5 this would give you a 24v and a 12v.

 

on the 24v use https://www.ctek.com/products/professional/mxt-14

on the 12v use https://www.ctek.com/products/vehicle/xs-0-8

 

these are top end chargers that will condition and not just charge.

Yes of course I could charge them like this.  In fact I have been doing them in pairs with a 12 volt charger for a couple of days.  It is quite a faff.  So I need a simple plug in system so we can charge them easily every night.

 

As I said I have now ordered one which will remain permanently connected and mounted on the vehicle.  So at the end of each day we simply plug it into the mains.
