Does this charger state that it's compatable/recommended for charging GEL batteries?

I don't believe it is compatible. http://batterytender.com/products/industrial-applications/power-tender-plus-24v-at-2-5a.html

I don't have the documentation that came with this unit anymore. I use it to trickle charge 2 banks of 12 volt batteries making it 24 volt. They are just lead acid batteries.

No I don't recall any specific for gel. I have another charger for them. Battery minder.

I've been using on a 24v aircraft battery (sealed) seems to work alright, they make an aviation "tender" unit...more expensive...no long term effects yet...

It should be ok with the gel. I heard that a BT makes a charger specific for gel too.

I don't know where you got this info, but the high capacity chargers for both devices are rated at 5VDC, 2.1A. So NO. And, if you charge at a faster rate the battery will fry!

Yes it should be. What I'd recommend though is double checking the power output and input to make sure that they are the same or similar to the charger you already have.

With the proper connector, yes. Charger will do it. Charge at 5.0 amp rate for the battery you have listed.

My batteries between them have indeed been interchangeable. The only difference I have been able to see is in the coloring of the lettering on the sides of the batteries. Chargers appear to be interchangeable as well.

If you are matching the current, amps and polarity of the provided charger then the answer is yes.

Thanks for the info. I had the same question about the charger working for the gold batteries

If its the same it should work but I wouldn't recommend this charger because it doesn't completely charge your battery.

I just looked up the specs on this charger and it says it works on the battery your asking about. Just scroll down and look at the chart :)

Yes, sort of. These batteries have specific eflite-only plugs, so it's necessary to either use their charger or to get an adapter that goes from the battery plug to the charger. If you have that, then charge away!

The charger not only works with Optima batteries, but other Gel batteries and all types of wet-cell batteries as well, including deep-cycle. I've had mine for a few months now, and I've charged an Optima Red and Yellow tops, Wet-cell Interstate and Sears automotive batteries, as well as a marine battery. The trickle-and-hold feature is a big plus. It's the best, and easiest charger I've ever owned.

Yes, I have the same charger and there are a number of different batteries it charges. Look at the info video about it on YouTube to show you how easy it is. Depending on what set up you have in your toy is what adapters you need. The Venom charger comes with a number of them already. I love this charger. I bought some extra adapters on Amazon because I bought a battery before I knew what I needed.

As far as my experience goes, yes. I'm using a Lacrosse BC-700 charger and it works fine. I also have several mixed Energizer chargers and have had no issues.

No. The charger directions specifically say it's for use with rechargeable batteries only. You should not try to charge "regular" batteries in the charger meant for rechargeable batteries.

I believe that the charger will work on all batteries . You just have to line the prongs of the charger up with the 2 places on your battery that accepts the charge . When I ordered the battery charger it did not come with instructions, but in one if the reviews of a previous customer , there was instructions.

I use the charger for standard 18 volt NiCad, 18 volt XRP NiCad, and 18 Volt Lithium Ion and it works with all these. I hope this proves useful to you in making your decision.

Contact the manufacturer directly. Or review the unit manual for the charger specs and order a universal charger from Amazon with the same spec. As long as the voltage, amps and positive/negative terminal are the same it would work fine.
