Correct way to charge 2 or more batteries?

[momofx 10+ year member]

I have two Kinetik HC3800's and was wondering if I was charging them correctly with my Ctek 7002 charger. The manual for the charger says batteries up to 150 Ah but since I have two of the HC3800's that adds up to 134 Ah x 2 correct?

So is it ok to just hook up the charger to the HC3800 thats under my hood and charge them that way, together??

that will be fine , ideally you'd want the + on one battery and the - on the other

Charge mine that way (hooking to one underhood) with buds xs power charger once every few weeks no problems here

I might not be reading this right but you're saying that I need to hook up the + of one of the batteries to the charger + and the - of the other battery in the back, to the charger - ??? Or did you mean just make sure I hook up the + and - correctly? Sorry kinda confused lol.

he meant #1 . Ideally ud want the positive lead on #1 battery and negative lead on #2 battery. or vice versa. But yea, ur ok doing it like u said in the original post.
