[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 208545, member: 3438"] While it would probably work, I wouldn't wire it that way. That charger has inline fuses at the terminal ends. If a fuse blows, getting access to your busbar is probably harder than accessing the battery. The older versions of that charger had rather librel power cord lengths, longer than the Guest Sportsman 10/5 I replaced it with. That charger only has one set of indicator lights. When you blow a fuse on one, you don't notice it until you go to use it again. Ie a blown fuse or open line, produces a "green" (good) indicator at the charger. If you plug it in after a day of use, and goes green within an hour, suspect a fuse blown. [/QUOTE]
