MULTIPLE BATTERY CHARGING

Batteries of the same voltage may be connected in parallel for
maintenance charging. Charge time increases in proportion to the number
of batteries. Rate of charge decreases in the same proportion.
Example: Charging 2 batteries in parallel will take 2 times longer; each
battery receives /2 the amount of charge showing on the ammeter. Thus,
if the ammeter shows a 30-amp charge, each battery will get a 5-amp
charge (when batteries have the same rating, same state of charge, etc.).
