Most of the battery chargers we offer are for 12V batteries and have a range from 4 to 8 step charging process.
From my research I see the Trojan T-105 battery is a 6V battery. We offer one charger for 6V batteries. The 6V battery charger we offer is the CTEK UC 800 6-Volt Battery Charger, part # CTEK56191. This is a 4-step charger that automatically switches to pulse-maintenance phase when full charge has been reached. view full answer...
The Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger, # PD9180ALV is a converter charger that changes AC shore power to DC power to run 12V loads and charge your lithium RV batteries when connected to an AC power source. The "AL" in the part number # PD9180ALV identifies this component as being for lithium chemistry batteries as opposed to the # PD9180A that works with flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries but not lithium. The "V" in ALV is simply identifying that... view full answer...
Yes it is possible to use a BCDC Battery Charger like the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D you mentioned, to charge your start battery, however, if you're wanting to use this to charge the start battery on your vehicle it will not work. These are usually used to power trailer/RV batteries from the vehicle start battery.
To charge your vehicle start battery, you're going to need a charger that plugs into AC power like # MA37JR. This battery charger will work great... view full answer...
When connecting the Ctek Charger # CTEK56353 to batteries wired in parallel, the positive from the Ctek would go to positive on battery 1. The negative on the Ctek would go to the negative of battery 2. The charger would charge the first battery first, then slowly charge the second while the charger replenishes the first battery. It would be much faster to charge each battery separately. view full answer...
There is not a breakaway kit battery charger, including the Hopkins # 20011 that will eliminate vampire draw completely. I do strongly recommend taking a look at the help article I added on trailer breakaway kit installation. Going by this should help you maintain your battery charge if by some chance you have not wired yours the same way. view full answer...
Auxiliary batteries, which are often used for trailers, and automotive batteries are both 12 volt batteries but there are many different types of 12 volt batteries and they are different in a number of regards, including amp hour ratings. In regards to their connections, they will both have positive and negative terminals, though I would not be able to tell you with any type of certainty that your much older battery charger is capable of working with modern batteries.
I very strongly recommend... view full answer...
The NOCO GENPRO On-Board Battery Charger # NOC74FR can charge up to 3 different battery banks. It cannot connect to different batteries in a parallel or series bank of batteries.
By connecting to one of the batteries in your parallel bank it will charge all of the batteries at once. If you had it connected to multiple batteries in the same bank it will not charge correctly as it will misinterpret the charge it sees as battery voltage. view full answer...
A battery cannot be charged and discharged at the same time but if you have a charger connected to a battery that is delivering power to a load then it can look like you are both charging and discharging at the same time.
It is best to charge a battery individually, not two connected together, and to do so without a load on the battery.
Your battery charger will ideally be matched to your battery; both come in various amp hour (Ah) capacities. For example, the CTEK Multi 25000 # CTEK56674... view full answer...
Two 12 volt batteries wired in parallel will not necessarily charge at the same rate when using a battery charger such as the OptiMate 7 Select Smart Battery Charger - AC to DC - 12V - 10 Amp # MA57JR.
It depends on the amp hours of the batteries, and if you have different amp hours, the larger one will charge/discharge slower. But if they are the exact same battery, and both are charged equally, then it will be pretty close to the same rate.

Yes, when wiring 12 volt batteries in parallel you will connect the positive posts to one another and the negative posts, with the negative terminal on the last battery being grounded, as you see in the accompanying photo.
Keep in mind you definitely will want a battery charger for your four batteries to maximize their usage, the CTEK MULTI US 7002 12-Volt Universal Battery Charger with Pulse Maintenance and Backup Power # CTEK56353

The problem to watch out for, is not the voltage, it's the current (cfm). If your battery recommends 30a max charge current and both of your chargers are rated at 15a, you're good to use them both at the same time. If your chargers are both 30a units, then you could damage your battery. Since both the Solar # BRW54FR and wall charger # BRW77FR are 7.5 Watts I don't see there being an issue. The wall charger has a cut off when the batter is fully charged and the solar will maintain the the... view full answer...
You linked to the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger, # PD9260C. This and other units in the 9200 series will work with flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries. For an equivalent 60 amp unit that will work with lithium chemistry battery banks, I suggest the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger, # PD9160ALV.
This is built for lithium batteries, this unit uses a higher output voltage than a typical converter charger,... view full answer...
When charging batteries that are wired in parallel or series, the charger will charge the first battery it is attached to and that battery will start slowly charging the second battery while the charger replenishes the first battery.
It really is much faster if you charge the two batteries separately. view full answer...
Yes, you can use the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D with your single 100AH battery. It has a multi-stage charging algorithm that will ensure a complete charge without overcharging. You will be able to add the 2nd battery when your funds are available. view full answer...
The 12 volt circuit on a 7-way simply does not have the necessary amperage output to charge a 12 volt battery, it can only maintain it. That is why you need a separate battery charger for this, and the CTEK MULTI US 3300 12-Volt Universal Battery Charger w/ Pulse Maintenance and Backup Power # CTEK56353 is a great option because it will not only charge your battery but also maintain the charge so you always have optimal power.

We do not offer any 12v to 12v battery chargers. The Tekonsha # 2024-07 battery charger we offer is designed to fit into Tekonsha battery cases and maintain the charge for a breakaway battery.
The battery chargers we offer that are designed to charge 12V batteries are used with shore power.
Typically, the 12V power on the trailer connector can be used to maintain a charge on a battery but does not supply enough power to charge a battery.

The 2.5-Watt Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997 will be able to charge a pair of 12 volt RV batteries but the issue is it can take quite some time due to the minimal output. The best option by far is the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 25 Amp # 331-BCDC1225D which will allow you to charge your auxiliary batteries from a solar panel or your vehicle battery.

You can add a solar charger separately to a trailer breakaway kit, but there isn't a kit with an included solar charger. So what you can do is add either the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger # BRW54FR or 2.5-Watt Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997. view full answer...
Your trailer battery will receive a maintenance charge, but will not charge up when towing with your 2022 Honda Pilot and plugged into the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118286.
So if you're okay with just a maintenance charge and not fully charging the battery when driving, then all you need is the aforementioned 7-way. But since you don't want to charge the battery from your Honda, the only way to do so is with a wall charger such as... view full answer...
The Bright Way Solar Battery Charger - 7.5 Watt Solar Panel # BRW54FR has a controller, so it won't overcharge your battery.
