Hi All...

There is a simple way to wire up 2 Solargizers or any other 12-volt
chargers or pulsers to a 24-volt system.

We prepared the following wiring diagram a while back to show how you
can install a balancing switch to be sure the two batteries charge in
a balanced fashion in case the two chargers put out different voltage
levels:

You just flip the switch once a week or so, which swaps the chargers
to the batteries. In one position, charger A goes to battery A, and
charger B goes to battery B. If you flip the switch, then charger A
goes to battery B, and charger B goes to battery A. This can be
connected to your 24-volt system without disconnecting anything and
can be left connected all the time.

Hope this helps!
