Battery to AC Conversion
Battery to AC Conversion
(OP)
We have a 24VDC floor scrubber that we are trying to get a little extra life out of.
It uses four 6 volt deep cycle batteries that are at the end of their life. They are Trojan T-125 6volt batteries.
Would it be possible to remove the batteries, install a AC to 24VDC converter and run the scrubber with an extension cord? The area we use the scrubber on has AC plugs accessible.
If this is possible what size converter would be required? how many watts amps etc...
Thank you for your help

Don't you think you should tell us how much power YOUR scrubber uses?

On the other hand why not just replace the batteries? They don't even cost that much. Kludging on junk costs money too and often leads to failed things like controls and motors. Not to mention, perhaps, the occasional electrocution as you mix all the extension cords, rotating machinery, conductive cleaning solutions, and 1 second of inattention.
