Looking for some help here but I was wondering if any knew if there is any battery charger that will charge more than one bike at the same time?
Thanks for any info in advance
 
Yes there is depending on your requirements you can buy a cheap one and connect Battries in parrell if they are roughly the same capacity also you can charge 2 12 volt Battries in series with a 24 volt charger. Just follow the manufactures guidelines on capacity dont charge a 5 amp battery with a 20 amp charger. You can get a high end charger that will do 6, 12, 24 volt battery's almost at the same time and you can alter the load as you see fit but you have to know what you are doing and you will be spending a lot of money.
If I can take a guess and you want to charge 2 bikes at the same time just connect in parrell to a 5 amp charger for a few hours. JJH
 
While it is technically possible to charge several at the same time, it is not really advisable for several different reasons. If you only want to buy one charger, buy an extra flying lead for each bike and rotate the charger around the bikes, this saves faffing around with crocodile clips and taking seats/panels off.

Accumate the makers of optimate have a number of options from 2 to 5 separate channels http://www.accumate.co.uk/

Gunson make one which can be seen here at Machine Mart

They are all rather pricey so unless you have a huge fleet or are away for long periods I'd be tempted to buy a few leads as others say and swap them around as each battery will surely remain charged for several weeks
