Charging a Battery Bank
I am planning on upgrading my batteries to 4 6v batteries wired in series and parallel to have a 12v system with plenty of Amp Hours. There is a ton of information on how to wire things up but nothing...

Thanks for the response....good info. Wish there was an adjustable charger, or at least one with a manually selectable higher voltage set point than 14.4v, that would swap easy with the WFCO8955 cage.
You don't want a fast charger in there, so far away from the batteries. You need your fast charger within six feet-- four is better, on #4 or fatter wire to get the rated amps.
Leave the WFCO as is and save a lot of bother. It works as a converter on shore power. Get a second charger as your fast charger.
EDIT--BTW a single voltage charger that does constant amps is what you want, not to be confused with a simple voltage regulated charger which holds it voltage ok, but lets the amps taper from the start.
I use my 100 amp PowerMax adjustable for that, and left the Parallax 7355 as my shore power converter.
