Charger Lead Acid Battery Question
 
I hope I am not in wrong place ....I have 3 6v lead acid batteries for my 3yr old son's power wheels ...Can I charge them using my hyperion EOS0610i net charger ....I made a series adapter for them can I charge them all at once 18v connected in a series or do I have to charge each 6v battery by its self?

Should be able to charge them in series no problem as long as they are the same battery and same age, number of uses, etc.

Each 6v battery has 3 cells. So, 9 cells total for all three in series. That charger can do 12 cells, so you're fine.

Well, according to batteryuniversity.com, SLA batts don't charge at high rates too well, and should be on a 8-16 hour charge. For a 12Ah battery, that would equate to 1.5A for 8 hours, and 0.75A for 16 hours.

Are they all at the same level of charge?

I havent checked em, but they are untouched as shipped to me that is..

It looks like you'll be running them in series, right? If so, charge them seperately the first time then from there on they will all be at the same level and you can charge them in series next time.
