RE: Battery maintenance [TANKS]

Yes, Charging the same brand, type, AH batteries should give you no problems
so long as BOTH of them need charging. It is not wise to parallel a fully
charged battery with a battery with a low charge, it will put a high
discharge current on the full battery when you hook them up.

Thanks for your input Bob.
So charging the same Ah, brand and type batteries in pairs would work do you

think?
