This might be the most elegant solution discussed yet. I've already confessed here and elsewhere that I'm no DIY electronics guru (yet), but would this circuit be modifiable to charge two 12v batteries in series, i.e. @ 24 volts? If so, then this option moves to the top of the short list.
Thanks.

Set the charging current to something like 700 mA for a 7Ah battery and remember to put a small heatsink on the regulator. |
