I picked up the Schumacher 1562A Charger-Maintainer...It looks like a neat unit...



Two questions...I would expect it should be a good choice for the odyssey batteries...right?



When I get around to attempting to put a maintainer on a dual system with two batteries, any good ideas on hooking up a maintainer?



Do you think a person should use two maintainers, or attempt to charge both batteries with one?   I can see some potential for screw ups using one...



Thanks,

I have 3 batts in my shop hooked up in parallel to one 1562A and sure 

enough all three are fully charged when ever I check them. For my 

rolling fleet I use a separate 1562 for each one. Its hard to drive 

them all so the maintainer keeps them all topped up.

Paul, I was under the impression that due to differing states each battery will have to be charged separately to keep it "full" ?

After months and months each batt arrive at the same volts within the accuracy of my cheap meter. Seems to work fine. I have a large truck (size 65) flooded, a smaller deep cycle AGM for the VW diesel and a large (65) AGM all in parallel.  Quite a diverse combination of batts. Bob will have to explain how my combo works.
