I have 2 identical optima 75ah batteries wired in parallel in a battery box.. They are wired so the load is drawn from diagonal terminals. My question is in 2 parts.
I have a solar input from solar panels. Do I connect the cables from the solar input to the same terminals that the load comes out from or is it OK if I connect it to the opposite terminals? The battery box will be under load while the solar panels are charging the batteries.
My second question is that when we aren't camping and the battery box is in my garage it will be on my ctek charger on float is it OK to have the charge cables connected to the opposite terminals to the load points?
I've read a few things suggesting that the charging and load terminal should be the same.
Cheers
Rob
