[QUOTE="condor22, post: 250702, member: 1932"] The batteries are different, the amperage is different, the age is also probably different - The industry recommendation is DO NOT PARALLEL at all. In other words only use a switch to charge one or the other, but to float them both you will need 2 chargers. Ask yourself this, they are different, which one will the charger use to sense condition? I have a 100AH in the 4x4, I also have a 120AH in the caravan. I have a Redarc next to the 100AH in the back of the 4by. I also have another Redarc next to the caravan 120AH, supplied via Anderson plug from the 4x4. The end result of saving money on a 2nd charger, will be the premature replacement of, most probably, both batteries. [/QUOTE]
