8 volt battery charger recomendation
Does anyone know if someone sells an 8 volt battery charger? I returned to TV to find that all six of my Golf Cart batteries were dead and dry. I refilled them with distilled water and got advice to recharge them 1 at a time until I can get all of them above 36v and then my regular charger will take over. So I bought a 12v / 6 v charger at Walmart and set it for low current and tried to charge them 1 at a time. The problem is that the charger ( Schumacher XC6) automatically decides what type of battery it's charging and it thinks that these are 6v batteries and won't charge them above 5.5 volts.
I am returning it to Walmart and will buy a different one but does anybody sells an 8 volt charger that's made to work with these batteries or do I have to buy one that I can manually select 12v and carefully watch it? Thanks, Bill |

I have never looked for an 8v charger. I used an older model Diehard 6/12 volt 10/2/60 amp charger. I already returned it to the friend I borrowed it from and he is away for a bit or it would be readily available.
If you get stuck, PM me, I am pretty sure I can get my hands on it. |

Thanks AJ, I'm going to return the one I bought at Walmart and will look for a manual model. I will also look at Advanced Autoparts for one. If you know of anywhere else that may have one, please let me know.

I have a cart where batteries are severely discharged and the when you plug the cart into the charger it does not come on. Is it OK to charge an 8 volt battery with a 12 volt charger, what precautions do you need to take. Can you charge the individual betteries without removing the battery cables? How long should you charge each battery.....Thanks....GN
