Battery Charger Question. Please Help

[kentb 10+ year member]

i borrowed a schumacher battery charger that can can do

10 or 20 amp fast charge

2 amp slow charge

75 amp engine start.

it says its compatible with agm batteries.

can i charge my kinetik battery under the hood even though its wired parallel to the back batteries? (4 batts in total)

and it says on the manual that i must connect positive to positive post and negative to the vehicles ground. the cable is too short for it to reach the frame. can't i just connect it to the negative terminal?

my negative terminal is grounded to the frame of the vehicle with 0 gauge wire.

thanks for the help!

Yea, you can connect it right to the negative terminal..i hate it when things say to put it on the frame.

And yea, everything should be square with you hooking it upto your car with all of the batteries in parallel...it'll just be charging all of them though
