Expert Answers about Battery Charger


  • What Battery Chargers Will Work With Both 12 Volt and 24 Volt Batteries?
  • The NOCO Genius UltraSafe Industrial Battery Charger # 329-GX2440 is only compatible with 24 volt systems. For a charger that works with both 12 and 24 volt batteries you will want to look at the Optimate 6 # MA84JR, Optimate 7 # MA37JR NOCO 25 Amp # NOC37FR or 50 Amp # NOC97FR battery chargers.

  • How To Wire In A NOCO Battery Charger To Two Batteries Wired In Parallel
  • It looks like your batteries are wired in parallel so the positive cable of the NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger # 329-GENIUS10 can be ran to the positive post on one battery and the negative cable from the charger can be ran to the negative post on the same battery. This specific charger only comes with clamps instead of ring terminals so I recommend picking up the Replacement X-Connect Eyelet Terminals # 329-GC002 for a more secure connection to the battery bank.

  • Will The NOCO Charger NOC94FR Work For 3 12v batteries Wired In Series?
  • The NOCO GEN On-Board Battery Charger # NOC94FR will work for charging all 3 of your 12v batteries at the same time, however you will need to disconnect each battery prior to charging. If you want to keep all 3 batteries wired in series, they will need to be charged as if they were a single battery. For that you can use the NOCO Genius UltraSafe Industrial Battery Charger # 329-GX3626 which is made for 36v systems. The charger will connect to the positive terminal on the lead battery...

  • Can NOCO GEN On-Board Battery Charger Negative Cables Be Connected to Same Terminal
  • Hey Danny, thanks for reaching out! It sounds like your battery bank is setup in a parallel series configuration (see attached) so you'll need to connect each negative wire to the negative post on each battery for the 3-Bank NOCO GEN On-Board Battery Charger # NOC94FR to avoid errors with the operation of this charger. I confirmed this with my contact at NOCO, and it is the same case for all other chargers that connect to individual batteries in a bank. If you have a different battery...

  • Can The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger RED96FR Be Used For Marine Batteries
  • The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # RED96FR can be used to charge marine batteries. That said, we never recommend using two different size batteries regardless of how they are connected together. So in order to use this charger with your current setup you would need to disconnect the batteries from each other on order to charge. That or get a new battery so you can have two batteries of equal capacity. This would allow you to use the charger as intended. Hard to say exactly what...

  • Charger PD PD79RR for single 560ah lithium battery?
  • Your older PD9145C charger delivers 45 amps of DC charging power at 13.6 volts DC. (For AGM batteries) This converter/charger requires 725 watts of AC power to operate. It also needs to be on its own AC circuit. The Progressive Dynamics # PD79RR converter/charger delivers 60 amps of DC charging power at 14.6 volts DC. (14.6 volts for charging Lithium batteries) This converter/charger requires 1000 watts of AC power to operate. It also needs to be on its own AC circuit Two chargers can...

  • Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter & Battery Chargers For 12V Lithium or 24V Lead Acid
  • You will be able to use either the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger 60-Amp # PD79RR or 45-Amp # PD69RR to charge your lithium battery. The difference is going to come down to the maximum rate of charge that can go to the battery or batteries if you add a 2nd battery, which results in how quickly the battery can reach a full charge. The higher the amperage the more output to the batteries. Since your tiny house is using 24v lead acid batteries I recommend...

  • Jimmy, yes I believe you are going to be able to charge two Lithium and two Wet batteries at the same time with the NOCO GENPRO On-Board Battery Charger # NOC84FR. This battery charger should have two separate channels that allows for this very thing to be done.

  • Why Does The 80 Amp Converter Charger Have a Different Plug Than The 60 Amp Converter Charger?
  • The Progressive Dynamics 9300 Series Battery Converter Charger # PD89RR has the different plug as it requires plugging into a 20 amp circuit. This is due to having the higher output which requires additional power into the unit. Since you currently have a 60A system you only need to go with the Converter Charger # PD79RR. I recommend going with two 100AH Batteries # GP99QR versus a single battery. I prefer the 2 batteries as if something were to happen with one of the batteries it will...

  • Can a 45 amp Converter Charger Be Replaced With a 30 amp Converter Charger
  • Yes, you can use the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger # PD9130 to replace your current PD9145. This converter/battery charger has less amps. The draw back to that would be that you have less power going to the batteries which will slow the charge process. Depending on the size of your battery bank, this may not impact you too much. We would recommend replacing your current PD9145 with a similar rated system like the Progressive Dynamics 9300 Series RV...

  • Will Breakaway Kit With Built-In Battery Charger Interfere With Breakaway Sensor on 2019 Ford F-150
  • You should not have any issues using the Hopkins Trailer Breakaway Kit with Built-In Battery Charger # HM20001 on your trailer hooked up to your 2019 Ford F-150. The built-in charger automatically refuels the battery when connected to the tow vehicle. Although we do not have any information or reports on an F-150 sensor for breakaway batteries, the draw from the charger would likely trigger the same on your vehicle. To be sure, I recommend contacting your local dealer to ask how this...

  • Will My Converter/Charger Work With A 100ah AGM Battery?
  • Hello Kg. Most all of the converter/chargers out there will be compatible with AGM batteries. Although each unit will have its own list of compatible battery types. For example, the Progressive Dynamics 4000 Series RV Converter w/ Charge Wizard and AC/DC Distribution Panel - 60 Amp # PD4060K that you were looking at is compatible with lithium-ion, flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries. If you can tell me exactly what model converter charger you have, I can tell you if it will work with...

  • Slide In Truck Camper Charging Circuit For Coach Battery
  • For charging and maintaining your battery in your overhead camper you will need to add a charge line circuit. Most slide in campers will tie into the vehicle either through a 4-way or 7-way into the truck bumper. If your camper is connected through a 7-way you will need to find the termination box for the plug. If you find your connection box you can tie into the 12V power wire on 7-way circuit. I recommend using the 12 V DC Battery Charger # MA99JR. You can tie the charger into your...

  • Is the Progressive Dynamics PD9270 Just a Charger or a Charger/Converter
  • The Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger - 12V - 70 Amps # PD9270 is a charger and a converter. I reached out to my contact at Progressive Dynamics and in order to switch from the PD9160A to the # PD9270 you would need to verify that all of your wiring is capable of handling the additional output. They also told me that your problem is common and comes from the PD9160A being a single stage charger. It is possible to upgrade your system using the Charge...

  • Recommended Converter to Charge Generator Battery
  • Instead of a full on converter like the # 34266168 I would get a battery charger like the NOCO GEN On-Board Battery Charger # NOC54FR. This will still plug into an available outlet on your generator and then connect directly to your battery to keep it charged/maintained. It is compatible with wet cell, gel cell, AGM, enhanced flooded, maintenance-free, and Lithium-ion batteries.

  • Recommended Solar Panel to Charge a Breakaway Battery
  • Yes, there is! You can use the 2.5-Watt Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997 you were looking at. However, this has alligator clamps so it will be a bit more difficult. A better option would be to install the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger item # BRW54FR due to it having terminal rings. The connections won't come disconnected while you are using your trailer. Your breakaway battery just needs to be a 12-volt battery with at least 5 amp-hours.

  • Can 100 ft Extension Cord be Used with Bright Way Battery Charger for Dump Trailer
  • Hey Ryan, thanks for reaching out! The only drawback you'll really see with a 100 ft extension cord and the Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger # BRW77FR is that the charging might not be as effective as you would see with a smaller cord. This is simply from natural voltage drop that occurs over longer distances though so the only way to "fix" it would be to park your trailer closer to an outlet.

  • Will Curt Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit Work With Triple Axle Kaufmann Trailer
  • Hi Eric; the Curt Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with Built-In Battery Charger # C52044 will work for your triple axle Kaufmann trailer. This is designed for 1 to 3 axle trailers with electric brakes so triple axle isn't a problem. As long as you have 12V power running to the connector the built-in charger will do a fine job. It also prevents overcharging so it won't damage the battery in storage.
