SnowDrifter Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I have a battery charger with 2 different charge settings - one for AGM batteries and another for traditional batteries. The AGM setting floats at 13.5 after charging while the 'normal' battery setting floats at 13.2-13.3v. I have both types of batteries wired up. The stock one which rests at 12.7v, and 4 AGMs that rest at 13.1v Which setting on the charger should I use?

08tahoe Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I would disconnect the regular battery from the agm's and charge separately, but if you don't wanna disconect them then I would use the agm setting. That's just what I would do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Something like a welding quick disconnect on the ground coming off the rear bank?

rogue Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Anderson connectors make these. Its what we use at work on our Jacks and lifts, they have these up to triple 0 gauge or quaduple 0 gauge I think. We have 36 volt batterys that wiegh more than an average car using these FYI. Obviiously you would need two since they connect together.

08tahoe Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Something like this so I can easily do that nightly? That looks like it'll work, but i would do both the positive and negative. What rogue suggested will work also and it has for both positive and negative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
