Question:

How do you hook up a charger to the two batteries which are in a pickup slide in popup camper on a 2010 F-150. Love your company, have made several purchases of your products. Also would the #329-GEN1 work for me.

I have a solution for you, but the NOCO GEN1 charger you've mentioned is not currently available and has been replaced by NOCO. Instead you could use a single bank charger like the NOCO Genius 12v 10amp # NOC44FR, which is the newer version with the same specs as the GEN1.

In order to charge your 6v batteries wired in series you'll want to start by connecting the positive charging wire from the NOC44FR to the positive terminal of the first battery in the series; you'll then connect the negative battery charger wire to the negative terminal on the 2nd battery in the bank. This will allow you to keep both batteries in good working order and always ready to get out on the road.
