I asked the above question and just want to follow-up. I purchased this charger and it charged and condition these batteries in about 7 hours and so far they are holding the charge. VW wants $600 dollars for them LOL.

No!!! The voltage of the charger must be matched to the voltage of the battery system being charged. A 48 volt charger would see your 36 volt battery system as a very under-charged battery (not being 48 volts) and the net effect would be to damage your batteries attempting to bring them up to 48 volts.

No - this is for the charger only. Each battery runs about the same price. I purchased the charger as my second one - charge two batteries at once now, as it goes pretty slowly.

I think that you are talking about 2 batteries (each 6 volts) - This charger I bought was to charge 6-6 volt batteries for my golf cart which is why the advertisement states 36 volts. If it is for a single battery yes, a 36 volt charger could hurt-damage or destroy a 12 volt battery

Hi Gary, Yes. The charger has four leads and can charge 2 12V. Batteries at once. It's working great for me.

Absolutely. I use this to charge. & maintain to Optima gel battery's. This charger I one of a few recommended for gel battery's.

If they are wired in series, you will need to attach the charger to one battery at a time. Red to pos, black to neg as you normally would.You can either cycle through all four batteries, or buy 4 chargers.

I also would not recommend doing that. On a 2 bank charger there are 4 connections 2 pos. and 2 neg. connecting all 4 to 1 battery would not be possible. If your device calls for 1 battery purchase a 1 bank charger.

Yes the batteries connected together in parallel (12v, approx 2x Am/h) or series (24v, same Am/h ) will charge, but slower. In other words think of the batteries as water containers and the controller as a faucet delivering a constant stream of water that fills the containers.

yes that is correct. If you connect two 12v batteries in series end result will be one battery bank of 24v. When charging batteries - use of a charge controller is highly recommended.

Yes to the 12v deep cycle battery if it were me I WOULD NOT use anything less then 30 AMPS CHARGER as for the CABLES IWould use # 6

You have to hook up battery's in a series. It will charge 6 / 12 volts at a time.

Yes, I have used this charger to charge two AAA Panasonic 800mAh batteries without problem.

I assume you are talking about two 12v agm batteries hooked in series, that are then connected in parallel to a 24v source. First, battery minder makes a charger for agm batteries vs normal car batteries. Second, to be safe, if there were a way to disconnect the two 12v batteries from each other, and from the 24vsource, you should be able to charge them individually (red clip to + terminal on battery and black clip to a ground point on the vehicle). Do not attempt to charge while connected to 24v source or while the two batteries are connected together.

No, that charger only charges NiCD batteries. These are NiMH batteries so you will need to get the B&D; model #BDFC240 which will do both types NiCD and NiMH.

Yes. The provided charger will charge 4 AAA batteries at once -or- 4 AA batteries at once -or- 2 AA & 2 AAA at once. There is a recessed area that fits the AAA batteries at an angle. I wish the description was this detailed!

I Charge 2 6V 200 Ah batteries in series with this charger. I have also charged them individually - Doesn't seem to make much difference in charge time. Short answer - Yes. (Of course you would want to disconnect your PV array/charge controller before connecting this unit)
