[SEL] Delco Battery Charging Help

[cgandree at mchsi.com]

Unfortunately the engine is bolted to the concrete floor in our display building with the flywheel butted right up against the wall so cranking is imposible, plus there is not a crank for it. Alan you mentioned a newer model with 6v starter, which model is that? Might see if I can locate a 36v golf cart charger somewhere and try that too.
If any of you have had experience with cleaning and recharging delco battery banks I would appreciate a response and phone number where I could chat with you directly.
Thank you,
Curt Andree

Mine has a 6 Volt starter and it charges a 32 Volt battery bank.
It is one of the later ones with the auto start.

Hi, Curt.

Jump start it with 3 12v batteries.  You might want to disconnect the
existing battery bank as they will suck some of the current as they try to
recharge when given the 36 volts.

Sounds like the first thing is to figure out why the engine is hard to
start.  I thought these units were all provided with a way to crank them
when the batteries were down?

Does anyone know where I can buy a 32V battery charger?  My local engine
club has the orginal bank of battries with a Delco engine which has starting
issues. The battery bank is not fully charged and we are going into winter
months.  My thoughts are to charge up the battery bank so the engine can be
tested and run again.  Any and all help is requested.
Thank you in advance,
Curt Andree
