On board charger question?

[TOLGA]

Hi all,

I have a Minn Kota on board charger its a 2 outlet 10 amp, I have 1 outlet connected to the battery which is charging at 5 amps my question is can I connect the other outlet to the same battery to give me 10 amps of charge instead of 5 ?
thanks
Tolga

Can I connect two charger banks to one battery?

Yes, this will charge the battery almost twice as fast. However, the water in the battery is more likely to evaporate with higher charging currents. Thus, the electrolyte level should be checked more often. The maximum safe charging current on a regular battery is 20 amps.
