Charging batteries?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, for the last month I've been taking my rear batteries out if the trunks to charge them using a ctek 3300 smart charger. I have 2 kinetik 2400's in the back and you guys know its a bitch pulling them out n putting them back in. Question is can i charge my rear batteries while they are still in the trunk connected? I tried googling it and didn't get anywhere. Any help is appreciated.

Do you have an agm up front? if so, just charge the whole thing together, it'll just take a little longer

Then just pull the fuse going front to back and charge them in the car.

Although you could probably get by charging them hooked together but idk enough to say yay or nay

Then remove the wire connecting the rear batteries to the front before charging the AGM's, bam, no battery removal necessary. And be a little patient before bumping your thread. Just because you didn't get an instant reply doesn't mean you won't get one.

Edit: ninja'd. Fuse works too.

i ruined my ctek charger by trying to charge to many batteries at once, i guess it just overheated, so watch out for that
