Battery Charging Question
Alright folks, I have question. After a sticky-fingered individual walked off with a battery from my boat, I removed the one they left, and fortunately I had one for my tin boat, so I'm still good. Now, to my question. I have a 10-amp charger with a 2-amp maintainer. IF I rig it up to a couple of buzz bars, one neg. and one pos., would this keep them charged???Each battery being connected to the buzz bar at the same time??? Or should I just rotate connecting to one battery at a time, switching out daily. I now have them in my shed, which is not heated. Thanks ahead of time. Eric.

They should be fine as you have them. Charge them at 10 amps, when full switch it to the 2 amp maintenance setting and they should stay good through the winter. Under normal circumstances a fully charged battery will not freeze. Only a discharged battery is in danger of freezing

No. Hook it to the bus bar and charge them together. Then swap to maintenance mode and let the charger take care of them together
