Questions & Answers

Can this be used to add a second battery with Internet # 307583353 Model # BGSP50

Answer This Question

These parallel cables are used to connect two batteries together in parallel (Positive to positive, negative to negative). The system you mention is not one of ours so I would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer to see if two batteries can be used with their system. For more information you can contact our service team at 800-991-0466 option 3.

    With 2 batteries hooked up in parallel, will it also recharge both batteries?

    Answer This Question

    Two batteries hooked up in a parallel connection will balance out. So they will each charge and discharge at the exact same rate. For more information, please contact our customer support team at 800-991-0466 option 3. We are available to take incoming calls from 8am – 6pm CT Monday through Friday.

        I have the Pro Series PHCC-2400 battery backup, can I use this cable WITH Pro Series AGM battery B12-100 combined with the Glentronics BW-27AGM ??
        ByApr 30, 2024
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        When connecting two batteries in a parallel connection, the two batteries have to be the same age and the same capacity. The B12-100 battery and the BW-27AGM battery have different capacities so you won’t be able to use them in a parallel connection. For more information, please contact our customer support team at 800-991-0466 option 3. We are available to take incoming calls from 8am - 6pm CT Monday through Friday.

              Answer This Question

              It's 24" but the positive leads are much longer than the negative leads. It would be better if they were a bit longer and of equal length..

                        Beware . Not sufficient for the sump pump backup inverter I have. Vevor 2500 Should match the gauge of the primary battery terminals.
