Can I charge six 12 volt batteries in parallel with this charger?

For a professional answer you will need to email ProMariner. But as far as I know the 20amp is only rated for three batteries at a time. But it would eventually charge the six batteries but it would be a slow process. I use the 20amp to charge two 100amp batteries on a Track Chair and it is fast.

I can't imagine why you would not be able to. I'm doing three. You can connect one bank to the most important (starter for example) battery and the other 5 parallel on the other bank. Or you can split it up evenly. Many options but it seems real quick for me.

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.

NEVER use a 12V charger on a 6V battery. You could fry either the battery or the charger. You can cause the battery to leak or explode.

The info in their site says only chargers 12 amps or higher need them. This is only 6.

I don't believe it is a 24 volt charger per se but depending on which charger you have it can charge one or two 12 volt batteries at a timeSo one 24 volt battery noBut if two 12 set up for 24 volt yes

It say you can charge two seprate batteries but if you are puting them in parallel you can charge as many as you have room for

Yes, I have used this charger to charge two AAA Panasonic 800mAh batteries without problem.

I would not since the charger senses your battery and goes to float when it reaches charged state so with 2 it may overcharge a battery, also this is a very low amp charging system so it would probably not do the job on 2 batteries.

There is only one 12 volt output. Even without connecting a charger, if you connect two batteries they will try to cross charge until they are equal output voltage. So long as that doesn't over heat the cables then the batteries are near equal voltage. With the two in parralel, you can connect the 12 volt charger to one battery and they will both charge no problem. The other option is to charge one battery from the 12 volt output and the other battery with a regular battery charger connected to the 110V outlet.

I believe the short answer wouild be no. First they are not likely to physically fit your 12 volt model and second, putting the wrong power rated batteries in your device would likely damage it. Finally the charger that came with you 12 volt model "may" not have the capacity to recharge 14.4 volt batteries. Your much better off to use the batteries the manufacture calls for. Good luck.

You do not connect the BK to a 48 volt system!!!! It is a 12 volt charger. To charge 4 batteries at one time they MUST be in parallel!!!

You can connect as many 12v batteries as you like. You just need to make sure to connect them in parallel, if you connect them in series you will have some serious problems.

This is acute little charger. It says the maximum current output is 500 ma. That's probably at 6 volts which means the max at 12volts will be about 250 ma. Not really powerful but if you are not in a hurry and you have small lead acid batteries this works well. Hope this helps.

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

I Charge 2 6V 200 Ah batteries in series with this charger. I have also charged them individually - Doesn't seem to make much difference in charge time. Short answer - Yes. (Of course you would want to disconnect your PV array/charge controller before connecting this unit)

I have two 12V22AH batteries wired in series producing 24 volts. It all depends what your using the batteries for. I charge mine on a 2 Amp.24 Volts charger. It may take more but certainly not the charge your suggesting. Be careful. You may explode the batteries or ruin them. How are you wiring them? Series or parallel?

Sure, but are your needs for 12V or 48V? If 12V, tap power from two of your 6V batteries.
