[Electric Boats] Re: multiple charging sources

 

Victor,

Caution about multiple chargers on AGM batteries. If there is no load while charging, the batteries may vent during finishing charging, which is a long term no-no. Bulk charging is no problem: most batteries will accept very high rates of charge up to about 80% fully charged, then they start gassing.

See messages #13676 and #10427. You can search by words or by message numbers.

They will all be supplying slightly different voltages (albeit above the battery voltage for a charge) but does it all average out on the battery end of things or am I missing a detail here? If there is a previous post/string on the subject, I'd appreciate the reference, thanks.
