    Default 3 batteries on a 2 bank charger


    I want to add another trolling battery(peters out to quick as is)and was wondering if it would hurt my on board charger to be charging 2 batteries instead of one? I will be hooking up in parallel, not series. Will it just take longer or can it damage my charger?

    It should be fine as long as it's still 12 volts (parallel). It will take longer to charge tho.

    It works fine. I've been doing it for a couple of years now.

    BW, you could hire some of us to sit around your place and watch the charger while you sleep if you want.
