I'm trying to replace a NiCD battery that has 24 sub-C batteries in it. I can directly connect any battery of similar voltage to the unit to power it, so I'm really just looking for a 28V DC battery that I can charge. Each sub-C battery has about 3000mA on it. Now, I know the voltage accumulates to give me approximately 28.8 volts when connected in sequence. Since I'm just looking for a comparable DC power source (again, just leads from the battery to the device), I don't know if I should be adding the amps of each battery to try to find a 28V DC battery at 72000mA. That sounds way excessive and not like something I'd be able to find. Which brings me to my next question: if amperage does get added up, would it be possible for me to just get a charger that would plug directly into the leads on the battery and charge it that way when necessary?
Thanks.
