A wind generator can charge 22 storage batteries in 24 hours. After the generator has been charging for 6.0 hours, another generator, which can charge 8 batteries in 12 hours is also connected to the batteries. Assuming charging occurs proportionally, how many additional hours are needed to charge the 22 batteries?
