    Hi Igor,

    You can use two cheap car batteries connected in row to get the 24volts.

    Two 50 or 60Ah car batteries should not cost you more than 100euro... :thbup:
    And there is also the matter, that you need battery charger... (another 40 - 60euro)

    My 100Ah 12v battery is sealed type and still got it for 100euro... 8)


    Regards, Thanos

    hi!

    what worries me about the car batteries is that there might be lack of acid. my father would kill me.

    i have found these: http://www.alcapower.it/shop/product_in ... cts_id=152

    but they are dead after an hour and 2 of them including charger cost 201 euro + shipment.
