What kind of charger do you have? How many batteries are you wanting to charge?

That looks like a 12v charger so you would have to charge them one at a time. Usually 2amp for a good 8hrs if you want a deep charge. I have 8 batts and charge 4 at a time with the schumacher multi charger 10amp for 12 hrs. That means i need to wake up early to get a good start. Does anyone charge different? Please share.

well i have a digital now but back in the days i used to have one of those i charged em to 50amps or 10 amps and until the line went to 20 on the gauge, the lower the amps the slower the charge but u will have longer lasting charges

I have a tiny 48v charger, I can't remember the name of it right now. But I just have one bank of 4 batts, I connect them all and it starts charging and let's you know when it's at 80% and turns off automatically when it hits 100% so you can't over charge them. It's a trickle charger though so I don't have control over anything if I want a quick charge.

well its better if you slow charge your batterys at 2 amps for up to 12 hours each but now days people dont want to spend too much time charging batterys sooo try to charge your batterys at no more than 12 amps for at least 4 hours each if you use more than 12 amps it will charge faster but the charge will not last as long and your batterys will not last as long as they should.

charge with a trickle charge at 12v 6amp, after charging to check how much charge you have, purchase a multi meter to check voltage after charge. chould not charge over 12.6 volts. overcharging takes away the life of the battery. its tthe number one reason for low battery life. so no more than 12.6volts after charge
