I would suggest that you go to www.amplepower.com.  They have a tutorial on
charging batteries - and it is not a simple matter if you want to get the
maximum charge into a battery and the maximum life out of a battery.  I have
been doing a lot of reading on the subject lately as it pertains to life on
a sailboat - where you typically only have 12 volts available.

Does anyone have any information on designing electric vehicle battery
chargers using an ac-to-dc converter which charges the battery bank?
