Question:

Hi, Wondering if I can hook up TWO sets of leads battery 1 leads and battery 2 leads from my NOCO Genpro10x3 to my 8D RV house battery. It seems the 10 Amp charge rate is just not keeping up with demand, but I did not know if this might confuseinch the NOCO, and I certainly do not want to damage it.

I do have an option for you but doubling up on battery leads with the NOCO GENPRO On-Board Battery Charger part # NOC74FR won't increase the charge rate. The only way to do this would be with a higher rated battery charger, the NOCO GeniusPro Smart Battery Charger part # NOC37FR which has a 25 amp charging rate, 2.5x what you have currently so it will charge the battery much faster. For example, a 100 amp hour battery takes around 7 hours to charge from dead with the Pro10 and only 3 hours with the Pro25. The only downside is that it isn't offered in a 3 bank.
