Is this a simple single bank charger? I find it odd it will charge 2 batteries at same time if it is, unless both batteries are physically connected together, or the charger is a 2 bank. If both batteries are indeed tied together, then there is no separation of the 2.
Where are the chargers leads connected? |

Where are the chargers leads connected? I have to go look into this further I guess, I connected the charger's leads to the cable you plug into the boat's fuse panel. Batt 1 was fully charged and Batt 2 was not, however batt 2 was half charged, when I checked yesterday. I think in the fall I am just going to manually put 2 trickle chargers on each battery using alligator clips, because I don't know how this battery cable that plugs into the fusepanel is wired... Jezuz at this point it's easier to just buy new batteries every year... |

I do use two separate "float" chargers, one on each battery connected directly. I don't think you can successfully "float" multiple batteries with one charger. I buy the chargers at Ace Hardware for about $25 each (keep one on my generator and the Corvette). Much less expensive than replacing batteries!
