I have 4 house batteries in my RV. At the moment I found out my Invertor/charger is shot and I'm in the process of replacing it.
Question is, Can I hook my battery charger to just one battery and charge them all?? They are all linked together, didn't know if it will just charge that one or all of them.

The batteries will need to be charged in a 12 volt configuration. If all of your batteries are 12 volt, putting the charger on one will be fine to charge them all. If your batteries are 6 volt then two of them are in series and in parallel with another set in series. Find the main cables, both positive and negatives and connect the charger to these. Good luck and keep us posted.

They are all 4 12V deep cycle batteries.

Thanks for the reply!!

Rv wizard is referring to the configuration of your batteries, typically they are 12 volt configurations, but there are some 24 volt systems as well. Both systems use 12 volt batteries. You can charge them with a battery charger, just make sure you are using a 12 volt system and 12 volt charger.
