I have three atvs with 6 volt bateries. If I use a splitter will this unit maintain the charge on all three simultaneously?

That's not the way to keep the charge up The charger won't know which battery is low so it will end up I Overcharging the other batteries I charger 1 battery Just a suggestion

I used it on my 6 volt house batteries in my motorhome. I have 4 and it works great.

Yes. But make sure you connect the batteries in parallel; i.e. connect the two positive terminals of the batteries together, then connect the two negative terminals. Finally, connect the positive terminal of the batteryminder to the positive side of the two batteries and negative terminal of the batteryminder to the negative side of the two batteries. I recommend disconnecting the batteries from the camper before charging to make sure no circuit in the camper will draw any current from the the batteryminder. The manual, which you can get on-line, states you may charge deep cycle batteries. If you charge two batteries at a time, they should be of same type and of comparable condition.

You have to put them in parallel to maintain 12 volts in the system.all positive together all negative together.assuming you're inverter and charge controller is 12 volts

No, not recommended. If the required load to maintain the two batteries (assuming they are wired in parallel) is unbalanced, this can damage the charger. These are cheap chargers, save yourself some grief and buy two.

no, both units will drain at the same rate of time. The only way to extend the time is to get bigger batteries that provide a longer discharge time to the inverter

It should, as long as they ARE in series and the input is within the 10A limit. I would google the wire diagram to check how you connect the controller. I would assume it goes from +ve on one battery and -ve on the other to maintain the series.

That should work. I use mine to maintain six 6 volt batteries in my golf cart. However I wouldn't use this device as a charger. I think it would take quite awhile to charge batteries that are low. It's main function is to maintain a charge. You might call the company. They were real helpful in answering some questions I had when I bought mine.

i am sure it would but this unit really does not put out alot of power. i honestly dont even use mine anymore i use the plug in type battery tender that has multiple ports. i keep both my trucks and both of my harleys maintained with it i accidently left the lights on in my old truck and i could have easily jumped it but i wanted to see how long the solar charger would take to charge the battery full. by the end of week 1 nothing by the end of week 2 it would barely turn over that is when i gave up it might be good for just maintaining but if any of your batteries need charged i would not get the solar. i am sure it would but this unit really does not put out alot of power. i honestly dont even use mine anymore i use the plug in type battery tender that has multiple ports. i keep both my trucks and both of my harleys maintained with it i accidently left the lights on in my old truck and i could have easily jumped it but i wanted to see how long the solar charger would take to charge the battery full. by the end of week 1 nothing by the end of week 2 it would barely turn over that is when i gave up it might be good for just maintaining but if any of your batteries need charged i would not... » Read More i am sure it would but this unit really does not put out alot of power. i honestly dont even use mine anymore i use the plug in type battery tender that has multiple ports. i keep both my trucks and both of my harleys maintained with it i accidently left the lights on in my old truck and i could have easily jumped it but i wanted to see how long the solar charger would take to charge the battery full. by the end of week 1 nothing by the end of week 2 it would barely turn over that is when i gave up it might be good for just maintaining but if any of your batteries need charged i would not get the solar. « Show Less

Yes,if you hook up two 6 volt batteries in series you will double the voltage to 12 volts and keep the amperage the same. + to - and -to +. Connecting the same batteries in parallel + to + and - to - gives you 6 volts but doubles the amperage. So if you connect them in series the 12 volts will be charged with any 12 volt charger. Sorry for the lengthy explanation but I wanted it to be clear. Good luck.

Assuming both batteries you're hooking up in series are 6 volt and of equal capacity and condition then yes, they should charge just fine with a single 12V controller. However, keep in mind that mismatching the two batteries in respect to capacity or condition can dramatically limit the overall charging capacity and run time of the entire string.

I have it charging two deep cycle 6 volt battery's wired in series for 12 volts on my camper works great for that. I would think it will charge any 12 volt system, larger would just take longer.

Yes, I connected two batteries in my motorhome. I first disconnected one ground cable, then connected one lead to that post and the other to the positive post on the other battery. Within minutes, I got the flashing green light indicating full charge and in float status.
1401622
yes. that is the function of the charge controller included in the bundle. it shifts to a maintenance charge, to not fry your battery.

Yes. I separated my batteries for one to crank the motor and one to run house accessories. When the motor starts, the cranking battery gets charged first, then when 13.2 volts or so are reached the relay turns on and charges the house battery. At this point both batteries are being charged at the same time. My boat has a 70amp alt on it and the system works great. Pain to install but well worth it. Hope this helps. ~ Robert

Depends on how much you're load is. Two battery s will stay charged no problem if you are not loading and charging at same time. However, once batterys are discharge it will take a half day or so to recharge. If you want a consistent load you will need to get an extra panel or two to do both at same time I have been happy with the bundle so far. I can run a 60 tv or floresant light for 6hr or so off of 1 reg bat.

No, It will isolate the two batteries so the load on one is not seen by the other. Both will charge he same. However the lower one will receive more charge current then the higher one until they are the same. It will not harm any batteries when connected correctly.
