    Yep. Two ideas. First, are you sure you want 12 volts for your inverter? If
    you have not yet bought the inverter you might want to investigate.

    Second, Analytic Systems makes "any input - any output" chargers. You can get
    a 120 VAC charger for 32 volt batteries, 24 volt charger for 48 volt
    batteries, etc. You need a 12 volt charger for 24 volt batteries. Here's a

    This should do just what you need.
