Can the two banks be hooked to one battery to charge the full 20 amps to one battery?

I wouldn't recommend doing that. If you want a higher amp single battery charger, they make a 15amp one.
1347107
I also would not recommend doing that. On a 2 bank charger there are 4 connections 2 pos. and 2 neg. connecting all 4 to 1 battery would not be possible. If your device calls for 1 battery purchase a 1 bank charger.

Not certain but be sure your battery can take that rate of charge. Pretty certain mine are maxed at 10 amp for charging. Contact the battery vendor 1st.

The manual doesn't indicate this can be done, and if it were OK I'm sure it would be mentioned.Being independent circuit too, I don't think it would be wise.However one can always go to Minn Kota web site and post the question.

Yes, this panal has the capacity to charge your batteries, just remember, the 20w is at optimal environmental conditions, sun, angle positioned ect...I always connect in parallel. You didn't mentioned the 'what' you are utilizing the batteries for...heavy watts out, need more watts in. Good luck!

All of those items will draw less than 10 amps total and a 15 or 20 amp circuit provide enough power for them. So, yes all of those items can be connected together and be powered by one circuit.

Not sure I understand the question, but if you mean can it charge two batteries at the same time, the answer is no. That said, it charges quickly and it has not been a problem doing them one-at-a-time. Great charger!

For one. But I hook them both up and have them on a 20amp fuse and they work fine.

Yes, I currently have mine hooked up to 2 12 volt batteries. It brings 4 cables, 2 per bank, the positive and negative for one battery, and the positive and negative for the second battery.Great Charger!

Yes, you can hook this up to two or more batteries. Just make sure to hook them up in parallel. + to+, - to-. This is a great starter kit, you can start with just this panel and one battery, then add more as you go. (If you are like me you will want more!) It would take about a day and a half to charge two car batteries when fully drained. My 122 amp hour marine battery will charge in a day. If you want a backup power setup more batteries per panel is better, but if you plan on a high daily usage you will want more panels per battery so it can recharge the batteries during the day.

It will handle two batteries okay. whether it will charge both or only the one it is connected to depends entirely on how you batteries and electrical system are wired.

You should be able to for either and both together, just remember to have your vehicle running as trying to charge two devices at once can drain your vehicle battery down. This is just an extension of your 12 volt outlet.

yes that is correct. If you connect two 12v batteries in series end result will be one battery bank of 24v. When charging batteries - use of a charge controller is highly recommended.

Nope, one battery at a time. Having two batteries is great to extend run time between charges, run one battery while charging the other.

Yes, but beware, you probably want to charge more than just 1 battery, more like a small bank of batteries. For example, I have mine hooked up to a small bank of 8 SLA 12V batteries giving me about 1500 watts stored to power a 1200 W Inverter for appliances. It's like a solar powered battery pack so that I can work and have phone conversations in the most odd places (no generator noise in the background, just pure silence or nature noises, it's awesome). You'll want a decent charge controller (I bought a 10 Amp controller, which is overkill, but has the better charge-methods and pattern that I wanted). Good Luck!

Thank you for your question.Deltran, the manufacturer of Battery Tender products doesn't recommend using two charge controllers on the same line. There is no need to have one charge controller in line with another. Make sure you use a charge controller rated for the size solar panel you have. NOTE: You can use multiple solar panels to charge a battery or battery bank and each panel can have its own charge controller. Just don't put the charge controllers on the same line.Thanks again for your question

Don't connect the BM to a battery bank that is wired in series to produce 48V. Your options are to separate the batteries from each other and charge them individually with the BM or disconnect them from the system and then wire them in parallel for charging with the BM. Both of these options might be a lot of work to accomplish the proper charging of your battery bank.

You can do either of the two. You can charge one single battery, or charge two batteries simultaneously. It does not matter at all.

I use my charge controller with a 12 volt converter, but I think you can put as much power in as you want,and that it will charge a 24 volt battery bank.Since I have 12 volt converter, I had to put all my 12 volt batteries in parallel, so as not to go above 12 volts and exceed the converters volts

Yes this can be connect to two Marine batteries however you must make sure they are fully charged and are disconnected as this is strictly a maintainer.
