Ted,



If they are SLA (sealed lead acid) batteries like the typical ones we
use (12v 7AH) the answer is yes. Parallel batteries tend to charge and
discharge based on their individual capacities. Some of the battery
charger people even show this as a "standard" configuration when they
could easily insist on separate chargers for each battery.



A quick Google search will reveal a fair bit of 'wisdom' on this matter.



CAVEAT: Do not charge NiMH or other chemistry batteries in parallel.

Can I charge 2 or more batteries simultaneously, connected in parallel?

(Assuming all batteries are the same type and approximately the same
age.)
