Hi Herbert, = Ok, good point. What I=B4m trying to say is: "without the option to change the charger circuit designed for 48V, does any simple circuit (not a SMPS) exist that I could use to get 24V from this 4 series connected batteries, in such a manner that all 4 batteries are used simultanously?
