wouldn't be simpler to keep the high amp series connections in place and put disconnects on the low amp parallel connections?
you don't break the series connection to use a bank of chargers do you? Andrew Wowk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I could only get two in town without too much hunting around. I got another 6 over the internet. Here's a review I posted: Charger Review I would really like to hook the batteries up in parallel so I can use just one 12v charger, but that would require breaking the series connections with some very large connectors. I'm trying to think of a way to do it with a connector I can fabricate. Here's the idea. It's been done with good results on smaller projects.

On the plus side, they are easy to try out temporarily, and can easily be sold if they don't work out. After I use them a while than I'll disassemble and cut down on the size a lot to mount on my bike. I'm even considering using 16 of them for the Honda Civic I'm working on if they work ok on the bike.

Its a smart charger too. I got the 2/10/15A 12V charger. Just one to top my batteries off. They're about 40-50 bucks each, but they smart charge and trickle... very nice little chargers. The 2/6/10 should work well too. The bulk of the charger is really all in the little orange part... the rest is wires, or the display. harry Albuquerque, NM http://geocities.com/hendersonmotorcycles/blog.html http://www.austinev.org/evalbum/1179 http://geocities.com/solarcookingman --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
