Does this charger charge different chemistry batteries at the same time(AGM & Wet cell)?

according to their spec sheet it does, but after calling them i found the cut off voltage (total absorption rate) is 14.7v to each bank. that's fine for AGM batteries but Gel batteries are only supposed to be charged to 14.1 and overcharging will definitely shorten their life !!! there are no switches or modes on this charger so buyer beware !

I don't know about different batteries, as all mine are AGM. It works perfectly for my needs.

I had the same question and went right to the source. Here is their response....Karl Jones replied:The GEN2 can safely charge all 12V lead acid battery types. In general, it is a good idea to use the same battery type, but because these two batteries will not be connected in either series or parallel, it would be ok for your application.Sincerely, Karl Jones | Support Desk The NOCO Company

I'm not absolutely sure -- However, since the charger puts out a consistent charge at x amount of amps and voltage to each attached battery -- as long as the battery that is attached is within those limits, it should not matter what the make up of battery is. Each circuit is treated independently. Hope this helps. Bill G

I would have to look it up in the manual. Some deep cycle batteries like AGM's require a higher than standard voltage for charging. Perhaps you can download the Owners Manual pdf online.

Yes this will charge 2 lipos at the same time. One on each side. It works with all types of lipos.

Yes. It will charge both NiMH and NiCD batteries, either one at a time or up to eight at a time. You can even mix NiMH and NiCD. Just don't mix them in the same slot.

No, This charger seem to have enough brains to know how to charge the batteries of all three types. No to your second question. I don't think you would want to charge the batteries any slower. It's slow enough. I charged about 110 batteries so far . Only one would not charge. Great charger. Alan Doucette

The unit will charge any combination of one to eight AA and/or AAA NiMH batteries, regardless of mAH rating. Mix and match - the charger doesn't know and doesn't care.

My application is different, 2 trolling motor batteries, 1 starting/accessory battery. The charger will charge all 3 batteries to full after heavy use in 1 evening, batteries are Optima Blue tops.

Yes. This charger has 3 leads coming off of it and every battery will get it's own charging cable. I will have to recommend against buying this charger. I had mine for 2 years and 4 months when it went out and didn't terminate charge boiling 2 of the 3 batteries.

Yes. More than 1 can be charged at a time. My tablet drains faster than cell does when both being charged but still charges both.

No, but make sure your charger charges this AGM battery with the proper voltage. AGM batteries require voltage of slightly over 14 volts

You need a charger that has a setting for AGM batteries. My charger has settings for 3 types of batteries, standard flooded, AGM and gel. Optima recommends a 10 amp charger.

Yes this charger will keep the batteries on trickle charge, make certain batteries are in good shape( filled with water if needed and no dead cells test them if they are older

most battery chargers would charge this sort of battery. to make sure of this, check your charger and see if it will charge an agm battery, if so, your good. secondly, yes you could use a jump box or cables if needed.

If you're asking if you can recharge an AGM battery that has been fully discharged, the answer is yes, but most standard battery chargers won't work. Either need an AGM specific charger, or there are some tricks you can use to make standard chargers work.

I use a Genius G3500 Charger/Maintainer. It has a special charging mode for AGM batteries. Just make sure to use a charging system that is smart enough to charge and manage AGM batteries. By the way, the Vmaxtanks MR107 12v 85AH battery is wonderful. I highly recommend this product.

No, this a battery charger that can charge one battery at a time while the other battery is in use.
