So I have the Multiplex Multicharger LN-5014... I can put multiple
batteries on it and they'll charge just as well as if I do them one at
a time? What charge setting do I put two SLA 12V batteries on? How
many amps/volts should I put on the charger? How long will it take to
charge them fully? Thanks.
