Factory jumper cables
 

Mine plug in by the floor on bench seat. Question:

If I hook up my battery charger to the cable ends, which battery will it charge? Does it send current just to 1 battery or 2?

I would imagine it would just send juice to one battery...if it did more then one battery at a time then there would be no reason to have a Battery selector switch as the batteries would be connected all together (linked in parallel)

Depends on the position of your battery switch. If you set it to both, which connects both batteries in paralell, it should charge both batteries.

Won't the shore power charge both batteries?

Shore power is usually wired straight to the individual battery....so if you have 3 batteries onboard then you probably have a 3 bank charger....you plug in shore power and turn on the charger and its charging...realy has nothing to do with the swicth...unles you have the swict set to both in which case the shore powers bank will be probably fighting each other....

Bingo!

The cables go directly to 1 of the batterys. Up the the switch position to determine if you send the juice to the other batterys.

no one has a Volt meter, and can do a little Myth Bustin?

if ya would quit hooking them up to your peanuts it wouldnt drain the batteries:p


I would think the house/#1 bat.thats the way mine is :drink:

You cheep azz, just buy and on board charger and then you won't have to rig up this screwy charging system...LOL...BZ

Yep it goes to the #2 battery. All went well.

very good I had a hard time sleepin this weekend over your question:evilb:

Ok I can't find the tread that tells me what the mating connector is so I can buy one.

Anyone?

you mean the connector for the cables , the male end ?

Yes, I need to set up a way to charge the batteries untill I get shore power in this winter.

Found it,

Anderson Power Connector SB175 on one end and a pair of parrot jaw clamps on the other end.

Chit man, just stick a screwdriver in each side and clamp the battery charger leads to the screwdrivers.
