Been cleaning up and gettin inspired... At todays count, I have 7 6 volt solar fence chargers and 8 12 volt car battery ones along with a collection of batteries... Figured that was as good a place as any to start, so set up a shelf and consolidated everything in one place. Electricity in that corner and it's in a good spot for yard tools also so will set up all my chargers in a little charging station that'll consist of everything mounted on as big of piece of plywood as necessary, and hung on the wall with a shelf for charged batteries..
Questions concerning the batteries are a couple...
1) on the 6 volt batteries for the solar chargers (GEL)... Some are older than others, some are new... Most have been sitting around with little or no charge.... Think they'll recover? I have a slow charger, but it's 12 volt, can I just hook two in series and charge them like that (since there is several, can I get away with all in series/parallel as long as I keep it at twos?
2) for the 12 volt car batteries (and the 6v in series to make 12v), can I set up 2 bars with several cables/clamps..1 pos and 1 neg, hook up the charger to the end and charge multiple batteries?
3) Then..... If/When all is charged, will one of the solar battery maintainers be able to hook up to my "BAR" and keep em all alive over winter? If so, think just one of the normal ones are OK, or do I need something bigger??
