Yes, you can make a 36 volt charger into a 24 volt charger, but it is not as simple as reducing the voltage with a resistor or a regulator.
Chargers are designed for the specific requirements of the battery. This includes not only voltage, but current and (sometimes) the slope of the voltage over time. (NiCads are a very specific example of the latter.) Additionaly, you need to consider the power dissipation of the device that drops the voltage from 36V to 24V - As an example, if the charger is putting out 5A, you are talking about a dissipation, just for the step down of 12V, of 60W, and that might be a significant amount of heat that would have to be dissipated safely without setting anything on fire.
Better to buy a charger specifically designed for the battery.

∙ 13y agoYes, it has 3, 12 volt batteries in series. I honestly can't tell you if you should disconnect the batteries from each other and charge them separately or one connection on the first battery and the other on the third battery on the opposite terminal. Positive on the first and negative on the third or the reverse depending on how they are wired.

∙ 8y agoIf the 24 volt transformer has a centre tap in its windings, the 12 volt source can be taken from there. A switch will be needed to remove the 24 volts from the diode bridge before applying the 12 volts to the bridge.

∙ 14y agoIf you have two 12v batteries in series to make up the 24 volts, then add a SIMILAR 12 volt battery in series with the existing two so that the 36v charger will work.

Can I replace three 8 volt batteries with two 12 volt deep cycle marine batteries in golf cart.?
it should work as long as the batteries are connected in series + to - what you would need to check is if the charger for the cart charges 24v or 8v if it is 8v you would need to get a 24v charger for it it would be possible to charge the batteries with a 12v charger but it would need to be hooked to each battery separately
How do you wire 12 volt to phone charger to 36 volt golf cart?
If your golf cart is 36 volts it is probably three 12 volt batteries in series. To pick off 12 volts from the carts power source using one of the 12 volt batteries. Make sure the polarity is correct to the phone charger. If the charging unit is like the ones used in vehicles the center pin is the positive point.
Can you charge a 28 volt Gill aircraft battery with a 12 volt car charger?
No, the battery charger has to match the voltage of the battery it is to charge.
Can you charge a 6 volt battery with a 12 volt battery charger on slow 2amp charge?
No.
Can you use three 12 volt batteries for 6 volt batteries in an ezgo golf cart?
No!
Can you charge a 36 volt golf with a 48 volt golf cart charger?
how far will a 36v golf cart go in miles
How many amps and volts does a 36 volt golf cart system pull when charging?
Wrong question, it depends on the charger, not the golf cart.
Can I use a 12 volt 1amp battery chargermaintainer on my 48v golf cart?
No. You can only charge one 12 volt battery at a time or two 6 volt batteries wired in series at a time if you want to use that 12 volt charger.
How do you change a golf cart battery wired in series?
I think they mean "How do you charge a golf cart battery wired in series?" If you only have a 12 volt charger disconnect the batteries and charge individually. Wired in series you double the voltage, two 12 v batteries equal 24 v, three equals 36, four batteries equal 48v. Unless you have a charger that will charge the total voltage you have to charge each battery.
How long does it take to charge 6 batteries in a golf cart?
average golf cart battery is 110 amps. if you have 6 batteries in a 36 volt system, and you use a 20 amp charger it could take up to 5 1/2 hours (depending on the state of charge of your batteries when you begin the charge). Were they at 50% charge? Were they at 20% charge? Pop a cap and check with a hydrometer before you begin your charge and then you can calculate how long. Be sure and use the amperage of your charger in the formula.

How long should you charger a 7.2 battery with a 9.6 volt charger?
You do not charge a 7.2 volt battery with a 9.6 volt charger period unless you want to ruin the battery. You charge it with a 7.2 volt charger.
Can you charge an 8 volt battery with 6 volt charger?
No, you cannot charge an 8 volt battery with a 6 volt charger. The voltage of the charger must match the voltage of the battery.
What volt battery charger do you need to buy to charge two 12 volt batteries ran in series?
You would need a 24 volt charger. Connect them in parallel and you can charge them both with a 12 volt charger. Or disconnect them and charge each one separately.
Can you charge a 12 volt with an 18 volt charger?
No.No.
Can a 12 volt charger charge a 8volt battery?
No, a 12 volt charger will overcharge a 8 volt battery and destroy it.
