I want to hook up this to six Optima batteries in my Hideout camper so is this one to attach permanently

This does have a mode that would do that. Unfortunately, one of the connectors from mine stopped working on the second day. Bad quality control on the wiring. Otherwise, awesome product.

I don't know about the 6 batteries, but yes it does have the plug on it where you can attach it permanently.

I don't think so, I would contact the manufacture. On any of these sulfators, one or two batteries are the general rule as long they are all the same batteries. Too much draw on the amps for six.

Optima is fine with CTEK but six batteries will probably take very long time for 5A but will work. I use OPTIMA on my truck and Jeep and works great

These units were designed for use on a single battery and not "6" connected in a series or parallel. You can check with the manufacture about this issue but my guess is it will not work with 6 batteries.

This is a switch so you only want positive connections - one from the battery and the other from the load. These generally attach to the largest of the 2 studs and it normally doesn't matter which one the battery cable attaches to and which one the load cable attaches to. The 3rd terminal is for the Switch and often this terminal has an S next to it but not always. You shouldn't have to do anything with your negative cable(s) which should already be connected properly. If this is a brand new circuit then connect the negative cable from the load(motor,etc)to a negative bus bar or the negative terminal of the battery This is a switch so you only want positive connections - one from the battery and the other from the load.

No, the terminals are too large. This is intended for smaller batteries like motorcycles, sno blowers, etc.

Yes, I have a bad boy buggy that I use during hunting season with 8 six volt batteries. This charger works great.

You really don't want to do that. I have a special 6 or12 volt charger for that purpose; it's a Smart Shot charger, by Yuasa. Accumate also makes an excellent 6/12 charger. I have both. Bear in mind that if you set up your 2 (6) volt batteries in a series configuration; you're dealing with 2 separate batteries with individual and unique needs. It is definitely not advised at all! With respect, buy yourself a separate charger and use the Optimate 6 in a way it is specifically designed for; that's 12 volts in an individual battery. It is clearly my advice to "NOT" use it on individual batteries that are hooked up to total 12 volts. That way you'll have 100% conditions to obtain the best outcome. Hope this helps.

Hi Shard, my initial assumption is that you do not have the connectors in the right place. The batteries are connected in series i.e. mine are 6volt batteries and I have 6 of them for a total of 36v. So the positive connector has to be on the 1st batteries positive terminal and the negative connector has to be on the negative terminal of the last battery. If you have it hooked up that way, one of the batteries might be bad. Bill

It would be hard b/c you hook it to the screw on the back. You don't want to mount it so it will be hard to take it down to replace the batteries.

I used it on my 6 volt house batteries in my motorhome. I have 4 and it works great.

No. It is designed to connect to the 12V battery of the vehicle with alligator clips.

Yes, it will work for any configuration of 6 volt batteries as long as the caps are removable.

Yes you can hook it straight to the boats 12 volt battery just make sure you use the included fuse.

Personally I like mine. It works great on my Optima batteries and works very good on all others. The size is very nice and stores with the cords inside the unit.

No but you can cut the wires and attach whatever battery connector you choose.

Yes. I have two group 24 batteries and the wires sways remain on both positive/negative battery posts.. Makes it easy because when I'm done with a trip I just plug into 120v outlet.

Depends on how it's wired. I used it for two 6 volt deep cycles wired for 12 volts in my camper. The disconnect went between the positive lead of the last battery and the fuse block for my power distribution.

I think it is called NB terminal (uses a Nut and Bolt) they can be threaded or not threaded. I really like the battery foru application.

Yes mounting tape would work, just keep in mind when placing the tape that you can access the battery compartment.
