I have recently been given a mobility scooter however it has no batteries or charger. I have a 12 volt normal car charger and was wondering if this will charge the 2 batteries ( when in sitchu 24 volt )?

 

You can charge it, butt it will only charge to 12V, and the highest is 13.8V.

 

You would have to charge the batteries individually.

Which will take a lot of time, so why not invest in a 24 V charger?

 

If you want to use a 12 V charger and not charge them separately, I guess you could charge the 24 V battery down to about 13.8 V. I wouldn't recommend it, though.

 

If the batteries were identical and purchased at the same time then you might be able to charge them in parallel.

Not being the same type/size/age could be a problem whatever way you charge them if they're to be used in series.
