i have a cheap wal-mart charger for now. When you charge your batteries do you leave all the cables hooked up to the batteries and charge 1 battery at a time or do you unhook the cables and charge 1 battery at a time?

i charge all 8 at once cause i have a multi-charger but before i did i would disconnect 1 cable from every battery and charge 1 for like 4 hrs or so and sometimes i would charge 4 for like 2 days or so i would hook all the + and all the - and make it into 1 big 12 volt battery and charge it like normal

i would unhook and charge them single,that is gonna take a long time,i'd say u should get a multi charger,if u did hook them all together the RIGHT way it would probly burn the WAL MART charger up

so i should disconnect all the cables from the batteries and charge 1 at a time? Would it hurt to leave the cables on the batteries and charge 1 at a time that way without disconnecting the cables?

do not leave the cable that goes 2 the solenoid hooked 2 the battery,al right i'll brake it down 4 you however many batteries u run ,my setup 4 instance,6 batts 3 too each pump,ran like this+ 2 - on first 3 batts u dont want 2 charge 2 batts together so u unhookthe wires 2 the battery u r chargin,u dont have 2 unhook all the batts just the one u r chargin

how many amps is your charger?slow charge is best if the 5 amp option is avalible charge each one for about 5-6 hours

if they are all hooked in series then you just have to unhook your quick disconnect then charge them one at a time.
