    Battery Maintainer question.

    For those of you running two batteries and using battery maintainer(s), do you disconnect both batteries and then hook them up to individual maintainers or do you run one maintainer to one battery and use the vehicle wiring to charge the second battery?

    charging

    I use a 4-bank Battery Tender (they also sell a 2-bank version) and charge each bat separately using the "extension wires" that come with it. You connect the extension wires to the batery and then plug the charger into the extension when needed -- it's a real nice setup.

    That's probably the best way but I'm told that charging one battery will charge both.
