I own a truck that has two batteries. Can an extra set of alligator clips be added so that I can charge both batteries at the same time?

Supplied amperage would the question. You could charge both at the same time but it would take much longer.
1721616
If this is a truck where the batteries are connected to each other like on most diesels or where another battery has been added to support a winch or something then you are charging both by simply connecting to one.
1721617
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.

output is just over 8 amps. If you split it you may get 4 amps to each, which is just over a 2 amp trickle charge. I would recommend charging one then the other to get it done quicker. If they are parallel , one may charge slower, so again, I would just do 1 at a time.

My gut tells me that you need something larger. The Honda Generator D.C. Charging clips wouldn't carry the kind of charge you'd need.

There is only one 12 volt output. Even without connecting a charger, if you connect two batteries they will try to cross charge until they are equal output voltage. So long as that doesn't over heat the cables then the batteries are near equal voltage. With the two in parralel, you can connect the 12 volt charger to one battery and they will both charge no problem. The other option is to charge one battery from the 12 volt output and the other battery with a regular battery charger connected to the 110V outlet.

Yes, there is a charging station so you can be using one battery while charging another. Outstanding performance for a battery operated chain saw.

No you can't do that because it takes triple batteries and you need a separate charger.

Yes. Mine charges both batteries at same time. It's a 2 bank charger - 10 AMPS per bank. I have a seperate 1 bank charger for my cranking battery. It has seperate wires for each bank to hook up to your two batteries for your 24volt system.

There should be alligator clips on the e-motor. If there is no alligator clips on the motor then is the battery built in some how? Because there has to be some where for the e- to b transferred

You could connect both sets of leads to one battery and get 10 Amps but you might confuse the charger. Each set of leads receives 5 Amps. I recommend talking to the manufacturer to see if that application will work correctly.

No, You can not add another charge controller to the load side of the Prostar. You need to connect directly to the battery.

it comes with it's own charger so you can charge 2 batteries at once and your existing chargers should be able to charge them

Hello mixxxir,You can go ahead and remove the alligator clips by disconnecting the SAE connectors. You want to make sure you find an adapter with SAE connectors that are compatible with your Duracell Powerpack or battery bank.Best Regards,EH

I don't think so. I tried to charge 2 12 volt batteries together for your same reason but that didn't work.

I cut the rings of the charger, bought the "Battery Tender 081-0069-6 Ring Terminal Harness with Black Fused 2-Pin Quick Disconnect Plug" and cut the rings off this too. I then soldered the two together paying attention to the correct polarity. If you can't solder, you can crimp them together. Then you can buy the "Battery Tender 081-0069-4 Alligator Clips with Black 2-Pin Quick Disconnect Plug" and use that for battery charging. The disconnect will allow you to hook up other things too. If you don't plan on using it for other things, skip the middle wire and just hook up the Alligator Clip wire. Good luck.

one of these is good enough for a full sized car/suv battery so I would assume that it would be fine for two smaller ATV batteries charged together. Just wire them up as per battery tenders instructions as they say to use the negative terminal on one battery and the positive terminal on the other battery and then connect the two batteries in SERIS connection.

I just called Deltran (the company that makes these) and they said it is not intended to charge more than one battery because the charging circuit will only detect the charge condition of the first battery it is connected to, and so any other battery connected in parallel may not get fully charged.

I can only answer as a mechanic; one battery is always charging while I'm using the other. As one battery starts running down I switch them. So I alway have a spare.

Yes - you'll need to use an extended 'battery bar' holder on the truck and stick the foam insert on the end of the battery because the battery is taller and narrower than standard.

Probably not a good idea. First because there is only one set of clamps, which would require some unusual means to connect to the second battery. Second, should a means be found, the high charging current from a fresh to an exhausted battery would possibly burn out the small gauge wires. There is a reason that jumper cables are heavy gauge and preferably made of copper: They often are required to carry large electrical current,

You have to have the traxxas charger that's capable of charging 2 batteries
