I'm looking at a battery charger like this one                            http://www.ebay.com/itm/LESTRONIC-II-24LC25-8ET-24-VOLT-BATTERY-CHARGER-golf-cart-/222572742631?hash=item33d25e87e7:g:ZY8AAOSwz71ZXmgW&vxp=mtr     is anybody using these?  I would really only have it for emergencies, and not use it for long periods of time, just for some bulk charging if needed.  Thanks 
510 watt pv, TS-MPPT 60, Exeltech XP1100, XP600 & XP250 @ 24V, 4x Trojan 105RE, Trimetric 2030, Yamaha EF2400i gen.

    Would be interesting to compare to this one.  Less expensive and 2x the amps.

    Have used the Lestronic charger for scissor lifts, auto scrubbers and such, they seem to be robust and reliable but new price is $500 plus, there are other options, new with warranty, if you were considering the used one linked
