I have two 60's vintage Cushman electric carts used to run around the property with. One is 36 volts (6 - 6 volt L/A batteries) and the other is 24 volts (4 - 6 volt batteries). The chargers I have are also 60's vintage with the charge cycle set with elec/mech timers. The chargers aren't at all automatic and if I don't keep an eye on the charge state it's very easy to over charge the batteries. I would really like something I could plug in and leave (forget about) anytime the carts are parked that would keep the batteries charged.
I ran across this and am thinking about building one for each cart.
Looks pretty straight forward and easy to build and I probably already have most of the components.

Would like to get the forum's opinion of the circuit and views on if you think it would do what I need.
Thanks..
