For those of you looking for a good battery charger at a good price for 24 volt syst.

As long as you connect up to two 12v batteries correctly yes. Just like when you test the individual batteries with a multimeter.

So its safe to charge the batteries with a 12v dual bank charger while they're connected together as 24v ?

YES! Why wouldn’t it be?

Check with @98G . I believe he has some listed in the CLASSIFIED section of this site.

I have three of them for three different vehicles that I have connected to different outlets around the yard.
They are great pieces of equipment!

In the case of the NOGO Gen series, yes. For other brands (and some other NOCO models) the answer will vary. Sometimes they require the negative side of each bank to be common, which means it will only work for 12v batteries in parallel.

When in doubt, contact the manufacturer.

See my post above, for some chargers this is not supported. Its important to verify.

A others have stated, you do need to verify with the manufacturer before trying this with a charger.

NOCO has specifically stated that their GEN series of multi bank chargers is safe to do this with. Other brands or series of chargers may NOT be safe to use in this manner.

It is MUCH better for the batteries to be charged individually whenever possible, especially for trucks with the 60 amp generator system, as no two batteries will ever be a 100% perfect match, and due to the nature of electricity, the battery closer to the positive side of the system will charge more than the ones at the negative end of the system.

I alter them to terminate into an Anderson connector instead of being hardwired, and then add a slave plug and cable terminated in an Anderson connector and add an Anderson connector to the alligator clips. This gives the ability to either charge batteries individually , or charge them all together through the slave port.

This isn't as trivial as it sounds, because the tool is proprietary.
