It's possible I have asked this already but could anyone recommend a battery/charger combo witha high amperage battery at a good price? 12V 18Ah seems around where i need. Will get 2 and put them in series.
Thanks, Tech

Just search for the same item on ebay.ca
I really need to try not to go over budget(I know, budgets in robotics never hold). The 18AH batteries in series will give me 24V 18AH. So if I get a battery charger capable of say 5AH and put the batteries in parallel I could charge both at 2.5A?
Why do you need 24 volts? What could you possibly utilize it for? Also it causes wiring to get complicated because 24 volt means you can't use a standard charger. Even if your using wheelchair motors you can run them at questions volts and still move around a 200 pound bot.
The wheelchair i'm looking at uses a 24V battery. it's pooched so i'm looking into another battery setup.
By "questions" do you mean 12V?
You can use 12v on wheelchair motors and it simplifies things for you.
