[QUOTE="JNG, post: 464189, member: 11551"] Further more I just remembered that when I was planning the layout for the new Jon boat, I went to the local Interstate battery store with wiring diagram in hand. The counter guy I got seemed to be more knowledgeable than the typical dumb counter jockey that seems to get that job. I explained what I was wanting to do with the two 6 volt deep cycle golf cart batteries I wanted to buy and had a question or two. One of which was the best way to recharge the battery bank. I explained that I could charge each battery individually at 2 amps or 15 amps. Or charge the bank as a large 12 volt at 2amp, 10 amp or 15 amp. This was with the chargers I already have on hand. He suggested charging the bank as a 12 volt at 10 or 15 amps. Preferably 15 amp. This is what I have doing with no problems (although everything is new so no long term evaluation can be done at this point). I guess we will agree to disagree. I have no interest in arguing online with anyone. No one ends up winning and it creates hard feelings. [/QUOTE]
