    Battery charger help

    Hello, I have a total of 4 batteries on my boat. The starting battery has its own charger. My question is that my boat only has a 2 bank charger to charge the remaining 3 trolling motor batteries. How do I connect the 3 batteries to the 2 bank charger?
    i have searched online for a few days and cannot find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Short answer is you can’t.

    You can move the leads from one battery to another when one is done charging, but that sounds like a pain.

    Getting another 2-bank to replace the single charger is probably simplest.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Do yourself a BIG favor and get a 4-bank charger ! Saves room and now you have a bank of charge for each battery.
