Re: How to build a battery charging station??

The popular choice tends to be shelving on a handtruck. Our team did something along those lines too. We popped a shelving unit on a handtruck that was big enough to fit 2 batteries in a row, with three rows stacked. Powerstrip mounted on the back and a bottom row with three battery chargers in it. Something different we did do, however, was attach voltage readouts for each battery in the station to see how much power something had if it wasnt charging.
