Parallel 12v wiring

[Ultra2004]

Want to wire my two deep cells in parallel off my converter so they saty charged..

Do I run the + from the converter to the + on the first battery and a Jumper from the + on the first to the + on the second battery ??

and then the same on the "negative" side ??
Converter - to battety one - and jump from battery one - to battery two - !!

[JIM PAYNE]

What kind of converter and how would you be charging it from a converter. Do you mean you would have a truck running with a converter hooked to it?

Jim:
I'm not sure of the converter .. just know its a 9100 Inteli-Power 120 vac to 12v dc
converter.

I plug into the side of my fish house (120) and it runs thru the converter for 12V. Self charges my battery..
Want to hook up my second "parallel to it

[JIM PAYNE]

ultra so are you using it with a generator or how are getting power to the converter?

------------------

[JIM PAYNE]

the reason i am asking is because it matters how much power you are putting in the batteries

outside outlet from my house ..plugged into my fish house by extension coard..

wow that you must live close to the lake. ok then you should just be able to hook to either battery and they should both charge as long as you have them hooked + to + and - to -. you should only hook to one and the other will draw what it wants.The best way to check is to get a cheap battery tester and just test each one after charging. They sale them at gander mountain for pretty cheap. Good luck

sorry about that, the answer to your question is yes, put a jumper between the two batteries. + to + and then another one from - to -

Thanks Jim:
The converter has a volt meter on it.. as well does the battery.. I just wanted the know how to connect both as its capabale of charging "multiple" batteries !!

[JIM PAYNE]

LOL
Well I'm no 12V expert thats for sure.. its a "trickle charge" set up that I just plug in every nite upon return home.. works great to assure I'm fully charged at all times.. The second battery just sits there next to the other so I figured get it into the action..
Actually having a system hook up through the trucks charging system this fall.. will charge up the house batterys on the fly
Thanks again !!

[JIM PAYNE]

does that mean you are going to use my stayncharge system that charges on the fly?

------------------

Not real sure what the system is called.. I own a Ultrashack and they told me to bring it in and theyd hook up a charge system right to my Tahoe..Sounded slick and even easier then what I have now (lol) lazy !!
But told me that because it's a GM I need to unhook if not running cause it will drain the battery on a GM ??

[JIM PAYNE]

well this web site sales my stayncharge systems. i am the inventer and owner of the stayncharge products that hook to your truck and charge your batteries while you drive. It is a very easy system to hook up and alot cheaper then having a shop do it. They are now available at gander mountain, northern tool and cabelas but i have given fishing mn a deal better then any one else has and they have been carrying them for over a year now. If you need help just let me know. i live here locally in apple valley. hope we can help.

sorry again. you can hook it up so it will not have to be unhooked too and will only charge when the truck motor is running.

Well what a small world at times..
I'm sure its probably your product they are talking about then....
They started putting them on all the houses they build for those with "tow packages" on the vehicle.
My Tahoe and the house both need the wiring redone as my tow system is the basic three prong thing.. so I'm not sure what kind of costs we're talking there !!

[JIM PAYNE]

well that should not be bad. THey harness is pretty cheap from this site. good luck to you and if it is my harness you can use the same one to charge your trolling batteris on your boat if you have one. good luck again and if i can help in any way you can contact me through this site on my personell info or on my web site stayncharge.com
