Hi  Guys,
What are you doing for batteries for the 32 volt system? I  also got one and 
have had it for several years but never run it.

Just run three 12V batteries.  It's no problem.  Delcos can  make over 48V 
wthout a problem, so making them charge 37.8 volts is fine(12.6 X  3).  Recently 
I started using 12V Gel Cells, or 12V 7AH AGM batteries  instead of car 
batteries.  They're much cheaper and WAY easier to lug  around.  I keep a volt 
meter on them to make sure they don't  overcharge.  When the voltage climbs I turn 
on my scroll saw for a while  and just run the lights when it dips.
