Can Red Arc Charger Charge Two 6 Volt Batteries Wired Together

Published 09/26/2018

Question:

I run two six volt, each is 120AH. I think that means that I have 240AH at 6VDC or 120AH at 12VDC. Not sure. Will the 200AH limit exceeded with my set-up? Thanks

You can run two 6 volt batteries two ways. In series which doubles the output voltage to 12 volt or in parallel which keeps the voltage at 6 volts. I attached a diagram that shows how the two setups get wired. The max input current this can handle is 25 amps. This Redarc Charger part # 331-BCDC1225D will charge the batteries if the voltage is 12.
