When I used the charge port I just set it up in the mode that gives you higher current by using two of the independent chargers. Independent is better as the charger can tell a difference in each of the batteries but for what this guy wants to do the charge port worked fine for me.

You have to start putting it together first Phil. Haha

Alright.. so trickle charger on the jumper port is what ill do. Wrecked agm blue top optima battery due to letting it sit dead too often.
I had to replace the Anderson plug also.. pretty easy to find them online or forklift supplier.

Use a float charger if you are just wanting to keep them topped off.

Any idea where I can get one of these plugs? I'd like to make up some jumper cables since I don't have the factory ones.

I just bought some at a Interstate batteries store and the crimped them and made the cables up for me. So if you have one close try them.

I ordered a plug from eBay. Ill probably half a$$ crimp and then fill the lugs with solder.

Tried that.. couldn't heat the plug enough to get the solder to stick..

Did you use a torch? That's how I usually do large solder jobs.

I used a 2 amp trickle charger connected to the jumper cable port most all winter on mine, it worked great.
