There
is many opinion of how to charge battery. We would have no problem when we
charge a single battery. And the problem is appearing when we charge multiple
batteries. Basically, the best way to charge battery is single type. We use one
battery charger for one battery. But, what must we do when charge many battery?
What way will we choose to charge multiple batteries? Charge batteries use
series connection or charge batteries use parallel connection.
As
a battery charger service owned, I will share my opinion based on my 10 years
experience, since 2005. Also, I will compare with the article and comment on
homepower.com I’ve read. I have series battery charger and parallel battery
charger type, which I've used on my battery charge service store.

Use Parallel Connection
When
we connect different capacities batteries use parallel connection, we need big
electric current. The electric current will divide to each battery. I've use
smaller cable jumper to connect the smaller capacities battery. If we use the
same cable size, the smaller battery will get the same electric current. And
that's not good.
The
benefit we choose parallel connection is the full battery will not flow with
electric current. And that's good for our battery.
Use Series Connection
When
we connect different capacities batteries using series connection, we need high
electric voltage. Small battery will be full before the bigger one. Series
connection set electric current still flow, although battery is fully. And
that's not good.
