You are asking someone who has no concept of what your requirements are.
They may in fact have a product that suits your requirements but they simply
dont know the answer and gave you the generic "no" to avoid any further contact
with you. We as hams run into this alot when using items not designed for
amateur radio in amateur radio. You are better off posting your needs here as
there are plenty of people who run the hercs off of batteries. The battery idea
will work, the chargers vary as most are not designed to be in line with
electronic gear when operating and may trip out, cause noise etc... If one of
these will not work, look towards backup power chargers for sensitive 12v
electronic equipment like repeaters such as UPS systems and some amateur power
supplies set up to charge and float batteries. Richy N2ZD

Subject: [TenTec] FYI: Inquiry from Batterytender Online
I had inquired on the LIST regarding battery and charger set-up for the
HERCULES II. There were several recommendations to use a pair of Trojan T-105
golf cart batteries in series with a BATTERY TENDER charger/maintainer. After
looking up the info on the TENDER I noted there were several options. I sent a
note to the company asking for their recommendation. I am not sure if I
phrased the question correctly but this was their reply. I just wanted to pass
it
along to the group.

CHARGER SELECTION QUESTION: I am a ham radio operator and will be powering
my Ten Tec Hercules II linear amplifier with batteries. The power requirement
for the amp is 12v @ 90-100 amps. I am planning on using a pair of Trojan
T-105 golf cart batteries in series. I want to leave the charger connected at
all times. Can you help me select the proper charger? I need one that won\'t
creat a lot of RF noise so do I need a linear model? Size and rating? Thanks
