would a 36v nimh charger work on a 24v or 48v battery I think my charger is for 36v but its hard to tell as its from goldenmotor. Or is any body looking to a swap for a 24 or 48v charger assuming this is a 36.

It would be very inadvisable to use any NiMh charger on a battery pack other than the one that it is specifially designed for. Apart from needing to be the correct voltage NiMh chargers also monitor the battery temperature from one or more thermistors embedded in the pack, using temperature change data to determine the state of charge. Different manufacturers use different thermistor specifications so there is little chance of compatibility.
