Hey Folks,
I am an absolute beginner but have been trying to educate myself as much as I can about batteries, charging, etc.
My question is, can I charge my field box battery from the panel? If so, which set of plug holes do I use? My panel has starter, pump, glow starter, etc.
Also, is it ok to use solderless banana clips or should I use the solder type? I need to replace the ones on the fuel pump.
Many thanks.

Thanks Horace315.
The charger that I have has alligator clips on it so I'll just change them to banana plugs.
Don't want to "fry" anything.
