Smart Charger (12V, 2 outputs) for single charging two 12V Batteries in a row?

Are the two 12V outputs separated and can be used for charging two single 12V AGM batteries which are connected in series to 24V?

And a question regarding "the fully programmable charge algorithm": is it possible to start the charge process only if the 12V AGM batteries are almost empty (eg 11V) but having the charger always connected?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, 2 short answers:

You should considre a 24V system as one batery, using (or charging) it as 2 single 12V bateries can damage them.


Regarding the charging algorithm, why only start when it is empty?

the amount of (fully) discharge's will shorten the batery life

why would single charging damage them?

fully discharge should be not the regular case due to solar charging. but if there's no sun for a longer period the charger should come in at a specific voltage.
