2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission How to charge with a Battery Tender?

[DBoyd]

I just rec. a new Battery Tender battery charger and was wondering what was the best way to hook it up to the batteries. Can I just hook it in to the terminals on one battery and charge both at the same time?? Or do I need to charge one then charge the other?

Thanks

Don

You can hook it up to just one of the batteries. They are wired in parallel.

Both will charge at the same time, but not necessarily at the same rate.

Both will see the same voltage from the charger, but each battery will see half of the current.

They're wired in parallel without an isolator. So, if one charges, so does the other. Just clip it on the one closest to the wall outlet in your garage.

Some battery tenders are just that, to keep a full battery full, they don't really charge a low battery.

Thank you very much for the tech info. I will hook it up on one battery and give it a go.
