Is it safe to charge a single battery instead of two?

Ok to charge one battery only. Unit is not worth cost to purchase. Poor quality charge.

yeah this charger will monitor each port independently, and stop charging automatically.

hi I have had good luck with it charging two batteries at the same time for my tracks Slash I think those or 7 volt batteries but I like it it works for me

I am using this unit to charge single 110 amp battery. I think this unit can only charge single battery. But if you want to charge multiple batteries you have to make sure total Amp does not exceed 130 amps. And you might have to buy additional cables. I Hope this info was helpful.

Yes, it will just take twice as along if both batteries are in the same state of discharge. Depending on how your two batteries are hooked up you may be charging both anyway.

Sure, you can use more than one 12v battery, but the multiple batteries must be wired in parallel, NOT series. "Parallel" means like terminals (+/-) must be wired together. You should consult an electrician if you aren't sure how to do this. I'm not sure about charging capacity - I suspect it will take longer to re-charge multiple batteries. You may want to ask Tripp Lite about that.

You can charge uneven amount batteries but there is no green signal shown (it means the battery is fully charged) for the single battery charged.

The Batteries will indicate red when weak and the light will turn green when charged. If the charger is left on, the charger cuts down to a maintenance charge.( trickle) . Yes you can charge just 1 battery at a time.

Safest method would be to connect it to your computer's USB to charge this battery.

If your charging a single 6 volt No if you're charging two together to make a 12 volt yes you can otherwise you need one for 6 volt only

Hello Sharon, It depends on how you plan on connecting them. Technically you can parallel the two together and use a single charge controller but this can become cumbersome with the wiring. You can also use the two kits independently to charge different batteries or the same bank. If charging the same bank it is best if you put the second kit on the opposite battery posts of the first one.Please contact us for any further inquiries - customerservice@carmanah.comGo Power! Team

You can charge 2 or 4 batteries, but they must be charged in pairs. You cannot charge 1 or 3.

I advise u not to charge it with a different charger b'couse it may cause defect on it . The battery can support a certain A or volts but it was designed to measure when it's full charged or empty , what i'm trying to say it's u can short the batery life if u use the wrong charger .

yup, works fine charging both at the same time. Make sure you got one bank to one battery and the other bank to the second battery(in other words, don't mix the two banks from the charger up).

I would not since the charger senses your battery and goes to float when it reaches charged state so with 2 it may overcharge a battery, also this is a very low amp charging system so it would probably not do the job on 2 batteries.

I suppose you could but when charging Lipo batteries I wouldn't do that. Charging Lipo batteries safety is always a concern, unless you plan on being there during the entire charging process I wouldn't charge the batteries this way.

Yes, you can charge one battery at a time. There is one comment worth mentioning-of these type chargers be very careful they are very cheaply constructed and can break easily - never force batteries in with pressure. Three of four of these charger have failed, the first was first time usage when frame broke, one just doesn't work after using it maybe half a dozen times, the third charger will not charge batteries. I like the batteries and have about thirty of them not one has failed as of yet. Consider the batteries as sold separately and find a better built charger.

The Idea is that you use one battery while the other is charging. Then, when your in use battery runs out (or low) - swap the batteries. It takes about 3 seconds. Having two chargers would be silly.
