Expert Answers about Battery Charger


  • Battery Charger for Odyssey 12 Volt AGM Batteries

  • Can a CTEK Battery Charger Charge a Motorcycle and Car Battery at the Same Time
  • Car batteries and motorcycle batteries have much different amp hour ratings and should be charged separately. I recommend the CTEK charger # CTEK56353.

I have included a link to a video review of this charger and a link to our FAQ article on battery chargers for you. If 2 batteries had the same rating then...

  • Battery Charger Recommendation for a 16 Volt Racecar Battery without Alternator
  • Sounds like your race car doesn't have an alternator and you need a charger like the # CTEK56830 to keep your battery strong between rounds. This charger would put 5 amps to your battery. 5 amps wouldn't be considered a quick charge by any means. But if your battery does a good job holding a charge and you have a decent enough amount of time between rounds the charger should work. Using a lower amp charger will help allow the battery to stay strong for a longer period of time as opposed...

  • You can keep certain battery chargers connected to a vehicle battery all the time such as CTEK charger # CTEK56353 which would be ideal for your 2015 Mitsubishi Lance Evolution.

  • Can a NOCO Battery Charger be Used to Charge Two 12 Volt Batteries on a 24V Rascal Mobility Scooter
  • If Rascal cannot provide you with a replacement charger you can use charger # 329-G15000. You will simply use the 24v setting to charge both batteries at the same time. This charger will not overcharge a battery and will help to recondition batteries so you don't have to buy replacement batteries as frequently. You will need to check with a Rascal representative to determine if this type of charger can be used to charge the batteries on your mobility scooter.

  • Battery Charger Recommendation for 12 and 6 Volt Batteries
  • What you need is an actual battery charger like # 329-GENIUS5. I own this charger as well, as do several of my co-workers, and it works beautifully. The great thing about this battery charger is that it works to recondition the battery while charging it and it will not overcharge the battery like traditional trickle chargers. For the time it takes to recharge a battery it depends on the amp hour rating on the battery. This charger is much faster than others it is compared to because of...

  • When do You Need a Breakaway Battery Charger and How Does it Function
  • You need a breakaway battery charger if you want to maintain the battery charge on your breakaway kit using your tow vehicle's 7-way trailer connector. The 12 volt battery on breakaway kits, like all batteries, will self-discharge over time. Eventually the battery will have no charge remaining and the breakaway kit will fail. The charger delivers power to the battery to recharge or maintain it. Many breakaway kits like the Hopkins # 20400 have a built-in charger. If the kit does not have...

  • Recommended 36V Battery Charger
  • The CTEK MULTI US 3300 12V Battery Charger # CTEK56353 is designed for 12V batteries and will not work well to charge the 36V battery on your golf cart. For a 36V battery charger we do have the NOCO Genius UltraSafe Industrial Battery Charger # 329-GX3626. This is an excellent battery charger that features 6 different modes that you can switch to with just the push of a button. You will connect the positive (red) battery clamp or eyelet to the positive battery terminal. The negative (black)...

  • Is a Solar Powered Battery Charger Good for Charging a Trailer Battery that Powers a Winch
  • A solar powered charger such as # PTW2997 is a great option but can take a long time to charge a battery; especially a battery large enough to power a winch. If you go solar make sure that the battery is fully charged before winching so that the charge (hopefully) lasts the whole time you need the winch. That way you aren't relying on a charger to charge up the battery since it will take a while. Another option is a DC to DC charger that you can keep mounted on the trailer and attach the...

  • Best Battery Charger for Two Interstate SRM-24 Batteries on a Trailer
  • The Battery Life Solar Battery Charger and Maintainer part 329-BLSOLAR5 is a great option for a smaller battery but won't do much at all for your two Interstate SRM-24 batteries.The most important aspect in choosing the correct battery charger is Ah (amp hours). The Battery Life Solar Battery Charger and Maintainer is rated for use on batteries between 1.2 - 20Ah (amp hours). The Interstate SRM-24 batteries you have are each rated at 84Ah each which means this battery charger will not be...

  • Recommended NOCO Battery Charger for Chevrolet Express Van
  • For your Chevrolet Express Van, I recommend the NOCO Genius Battery Charger and Maintainer # 329-GENIUS5. The charger is designed to be used with automotive batteries and can handle batteries with amp hours between 1.2-120. It will not jump start the vehicle, but will keep the battery maintained so you won't need it to. The charger won't overcharge or undercharge by automatically switching to pulse-maintenance phase when the battery reaches a full charge. It is approved for indoor and...

  • Can an AC Power Smart Charger Plugged into a Generator Effectively Charge Up a Battery
  • It is possible that the charger needs a cleaner sine wave or more consistent energy production than a generator can provide. That would explain why it turns itself off. You could have this exact problem with any other AC charger so the solution would be an alternative charger type such as # 331-BCDC1240D, which is a smart charger, used with a solar panel such as # PTW2997 as an example. The Redarc charger can also be used to charge the trailer battery while it is being towed. I have linked...

  • Can a NOCO Battery Charger be Used to Charge and Maintain Two 12 Volt Batteries for Extended Periods
  • You can charge 2 batteries when they are connected in parallel using a battery charger such as # 329-GENIUS5. However, it will take longer to charge the batteries when they are connected compared to if you were to charge each one separately. And the first battery will get hot. But once charged the charger will go into maintenance mode so it will not overcharge the batteries. The best battery charger to use for charging batteries in parallel would be # CTEK56353. It has a higher amperage...

  • Battery Charger for Maintaining the Charge on a 2005 Ford Excursion Diesel with 2 Odyssey Batteries
  • The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D is designed to charge an auxilliary battery form the vehicle alternator output or from the starting battery on the vehicle. This charger would not work for your application unless you have a solar panel that can be ran to the yellow input wire of the # 331-BCDC1225D charger. In that case the solar power can be used to help maintain the vehicle batteries and keep them from overcharging while you are away from the cabin for extended...
