Can Two 12 Volt Batteries Connected in Parallel be Charged Through a Switch Using a NOCO Charger
Question:
Can this product fully function to maintain two 12V batteries hooked in parallel through a Perko switch with the switch in the both position?

Expert Reply:
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.
The best battery charger to use for charging batteries in parallel would be # 329-GENIUS10. It has a higher amperage output and will charge faster. I have included a link to our FAQ article on battery chargers for you.
