    Best 24 volt battery charger?

    A solorgizer or any charger will slow sulfation if you use it all the time to keep it fully charged, Unless a charger says " Desulfater on it is will not desulfate, And the single charger will NOT stop sulfation happening faster in the last batts in line, because a single charger will never...

    Best 24 volt battery charger?

    An on board 12 volt maintainer /charger /desulfater for each batt it by far the best of the best hands down, The reason for batts not handling one charger is simple, its not the batteries .Its like filling a pool, the first charger gets all the juice, the second and so on get the run off, yes...

    Charge Batteries in place on truck?

    I do not understand the idea of the equalizer feeding the other battery, All it does is help the solution in the batt slow down and in some cases help cure sulfation.

    Charge Batteries in place on truck?

    Oh I just noticed the Jump part, You can jump from 2 cars, or just 2 batts on the ground, with 2 sets of cables, You can put a 12 volt jump pack or start charger on each batt just like the chargers when charging like i stated above. , they will never put more in than the batts can hold normally...
