Can I Charge Two 12v Batteries Wired in Parallel w/ the Go Power RV Converter and Smart Charger?

Published 12/17/2023

Question:

I have 2 AGM 12v batteries connected in parallel providing power to an electric lift mounted on a flat bed. Im looking for a charger that will recharge the batteries at the end of the day when plugged into 120VAC. The batteries have a 100Ah rating. Will your charger work when its connected to 2 batteries in parallel? Thanks

Yes, you can charge two 12v batteries when they are connected in parallel using the Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger item # 34266167. 35 amps are more then enough to charge your batteries in parallel. However, it will take longer to charge the batteries when they are connected compared to if you were to charge each one separately.
