Question:

I have been reading the questions and answers about charging two 12 volt batteries connected in parallel, but nothing about more than 2. I have a solar panel system with 3 - 100Ah 12 Volt batteries connected in parallel.. Im planning a long trip and wont always have access to power so will need to rely on my solar panels and batteries. In case their is weather/cloud cover and limited charging from my solar panels I would like to be able to charge the 3 100Ah batteries with a charger connected to my generator. Since I essentially have a total of 300Ah, it appears that the NOCO Genius 10Amp is not sufficient to charge my batteries 230Ah. Is there a battery charger that will charge my 3 100Ah batteries? Since I am not able to use the generator all the time most campgrounds have specific generator hours I want to be able to have the batteries fully charged for the off hours. Thank you

You will want the NOCO GeniusPro Smart Battery Charger # NOC37FR. This charger has a higher charge rate at 25 amps to be able to charge the batteries faster. It allows you to use with 12 volt batteries with up to 1,000 amp hours of capacity.
