Battery Charger Replacement Help!

[Thoodenpyl]

I have a custom Nugget made in 1975. The battery charger has gone and I need to replace it but the system is custom. I think it is pretty straight forward but I would love some idea if I am right.




The new chargers have several phases, can I adapt the battery plug in to this plug in again? If so do I have to turn the charger switch on and off if the new battery chargers have trickle mode?

I can”t get my pictures to show up, so explaining this seems difficult :S

Not sure why the knife switch is there. The charger is VERY old so assuming it could only charge one at a time. I never have two batteries. I mostly use electric but to complete the circuit I need to have a charger.

It looks like you have a knife switch that you flip to select either the right or left side battery. What is the purpose for the switch? Is it to use only one battery at a time and keep the second in reserve? Or was there a limitation with your original charger and you could only charge one battery at a time.


Here's your pictures. I think Apple is preventing direct linking from websites so i copied them into the RV.net hosting site.

can you get the model number of your "converter" and post it?
Most converters have different charge rates depending on battery requirements and do have a trickle charge rate.
