WILL THIS UNIT HANDLE FOUR BATTERIES???

Mine is hooked to 6 batteries - (4) 6Volt (2+2 in series and parallel) for the house batteries and (2) 12Volt in parallel for the starter.

Yes but as with all systems you recharge times will lengthen. I would suggest that you write down all the information on the battery bank you are interested in powering and then give the company a call for a consultation. They may have some ideas that will provide you with a solution that you may not have considered that will better meet your needs.

You will have to contact the company for that info. I have mine on two 6 volt golf cart batteries with no problem and I can't see why they wouldn't work on four.

You should provide power to each unit. If that is impractical, there are battery operated units that have ten-year batteries.

Hi Gary, Yes. The charger has four leads and can charge 2 12V. Batteries at once. It's working great for me.

They provide four batteries with the two units. Batteries are on all of the time so they run down in a short period of time. My unit never worked right from the start. Save your money on this one,

Joseph, do you really need this large of unit? It needs 4" x 12" to mount. There should be no problem, except it is designed for 2 battery apps. It would not work for 1 battery! Need more help, write again. Viking

It NEEDS two, but has space for four. Minor difference in brightness running on only two batteries. I imagine the run is less on just two.

It will charge 8 batteries at once, but they must be charged in pairs. So you could charge 4 AA's and 4 AAA's at once.

As long as the main battery line that you are talking about is large enough to carry the additional combined total load for 3-4 of them, it should be no problem. The rated input for each one is 3 amps.

Yes, there are back up batteries in the base unit. I believe it takes four AA's.

Yes, it works on batteries, four AA's. One thing I like about this radio is that the aux power cord is removable, no need to tuck into the case.

Yes. It can be connected to DC 3 to 6 volts. One AA battery is 1.5 volts. So you can use up to 4 connected in series. Hope this helps you.

Yes. The unit is pretty easy on batteries. Four batteries will last 4-5 days of intense searching. I always roll with four fresh cells in the unit and four extra in my kit. Rechargeables are the way to go.

Yes, this charger should be able to charge and maintain 4 of almost any size battery. If they are all discharged it may take quite some time to bring them to 100% as it will only run 1.1 amp per line when 4 batteries are connected.

The operating word is "rechargeable." If the batteries say "rechargeable" then this unit will handle them. Never put non-rechargeables in it.

4 AA batteries is correct. Note that you must have a small phillips screwdriver to open the battery compartments (yes, there are two compartments). A jeweler's screwdriver will be sufficient.

No, the batteries charge in the unit and it has a car charger. You could use 5 traditional AAA batteries as well.

I have only chagred 1900mAh NiMH AA and AAA batteries, 8, 4 or 2 at a time. Can't say for 3500mAh though, should work as others have said once it's a NIMH batt.
