Charging Battery Bank

[Bostonjlguy 10+ year member]

I want to build an amp rack that will enclose the battery bank so you cannot see the batteries. I have an optima yellow top under the hood and 2 vmax charge tanks ct3500's in the back. The batteries are ran in paralell. Can I charge the charge tanks by hooking a charger up to the yellow top up front?

No. In order to sufficiently charge them you'd need to have the positive on one end and the negative on the other. So that it charges everything evenly.
