Question:
Hello, is there a CTEK or other battery charger that can charge a car and a motorcycle battery at the same time? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Car batteries and motorcycle batteries have much different amp hour ratings and should be charged separately. I recommend the CTEK charger # CTEK56353. I own this battery charger as do several of my co-workers and it works fantastic for everything from 12 volt lawn mower batteries, motorcycle batteries, to car and truck batteries.
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 you could charge both by connecting them together and then adding the charger. However doing so will take longer to charge the batteries than it would to charge them separately.
