Not sure who originated this thread - but I came across a 36volt battery
charger at a garage sale. (Golf cart charger) and since the price was right
($2) I immediately thought of this tank. I have a 55 gal plastic drum so
the only part I don't have is the wire mesh but that isn't a problem. Is
there an issue with using the 36v instead of a standard battery charger?
