I bought two 6v Golf Cart Batteries from Costo and connected them in series to bring the voltage up to 12v. I've been searching all over the internet and it's so confusing to find a straight answer. I have a 12v 10/2/50 amp charger from Harbor Freright. Is this a bad charger to use? Should I hook the charger up to one battery or to the positive of the first battery in the series and the negative of the 2nd in the series?
I plan on adding 2 batteries at a time to increase my capacity and this summer I want to add some solar panels. Right now I am powering the charger with a 1600w Yamaha genterator from Harbow Frieght. Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong as you can tell and if you have any tips for a more successful longer lasting system.
Right now I am using it to run my internet modem/phone/router and lights when the generator isn't on. Works pretty good lasts 24 hours. I want to add the mini-fridge and flat screen when I get more batteries. Any tips?
Thanks,
Matt
