Parallel Battery charging


  • Hi,

    I've just ordered 2 x 24v 100ah batteries which will be connected in parallel for a 24v trolling motor to make 200ah of capacity. Can I use one 24v charger connected to the "+" of one battery and the "-" of the other or should i use two chargers....one for each batter?

     

    Thanks

    Mike



  • Hi, you don't need two chargers but we still recommend charging the batteries one by one. If you do like you say, one of the batteries cannot be fully charged usually.


  • I charge batteries like this all the time. The bms should take care of the batteries for you. If one charges fast that the other the bms will shut it off and continue to charge the other.
