Hi Bill!
I have a 24v solargizer on my Blazer that seems to work great. Blazer
started right up on the 8 degree morning without the block heater.

Must be getting cold...going to -5F tonight here in New Hampsta

Great subject...with great responses.

Question....12 Volt Truck with 2 - 12 volt batteries in parallel. Can I
use 1 12 volt Solargizer to maintain the system or do I need 1 per battery.

Their website does not address this....
