Trojan T105 Batteries - Need a charger
I just replaced my 12V batteries for 2 6v T105 225AmpHour deep cycle batteries run in series to make 12v. I have a schumacher charger that does 2/6/8 Amps. It takes forever to charge! The battery v...

The Progressive Dynamics PD9260C-14.8V 60 AMP model does this...
This is a converter/charger unit that will go along with your 120VAC/12VDC Distribution Panel and is a "real" multi-voltage SMART MODE charger that works... Contact Randy at BEST CONVERTERS... The higher DC current Capacity of the PD9260C-14.8 Converter/charger will be there when you add a second group of two 6VDC GC2 batteries later on... There is no benefit of using a separate Battery charger for your new GC2 batteries. Charge them using 12V as if the two 6VDC in series are one larger 12VDC battery. Let the on-board COnverter/Charger unit do it for you...
If you have the WFCO 8900 series Power Distribution center this PD9260C-14.8V model should fit in the bottom compartment with minimum modifications or you can mount it stand alone closer to the battery bank inside your trailer compartments... You will NOTneed to replace the Distribution Panels (Breakers and FUses)
A typical 12VDC batteries wants to demand 17-20AMPS DC Current when hit with the smart mode BOOST 14.4-14-8 DC Voltages... Two 6VDC batteries in series would be considered a single 12VDC battery is this case...
Most folks have been using 14.4VDC charging mode for the two GC2 6VDC batteries in series and it just takes a little more time to reach the 90% or 100% charge states...
Just my thoughts here... I am just now changing over as well to the GC2 6V batteries and will be using my existing PD9260C-14.4VDC mode smart mode charger for my setup.
The battery experts on here will probably have a better explaination for you...
