Can a 100 amp car alternator charge two 200amp deep cycle batteries at the same time?

Yes if they are connected in parallel but I would not recommend it. Just charge them one at a time.

Will a car alternator charge a deep cycle battery?
Yes
How do you charge a deep cycle battery with a car?
You don't. This would put a strain on the alternator and may burn a diode out. Charge it with a deep cycle battery charger.
What is a battery cycle?
a deep cycle battery i a battery that you can charge and discharge over and over without harming the cells in the battery unlike a normal battery . deep cycle batteries are normally used in boats

When should you recharge Lead-acid deep cycle batteries?
When the battery looses it charge. It is designed to be run completely down before recharging.
How do you charge a boat battery?
The same way you charge a car battery. The only difference in them is that the marine battery is a deep cycle battery, meaning it is designed to be run completely down without damaging the battery. Ideally you need a charger designed to charge deep cycle batteries but you can charge one with a normal battery charger.

How long should an RV battery last?
Most RV batteries are Deep Cycle type. Deep cycle batteries are lead-acid battery capable of being regularly discharged using most of its capacity in the process. Deep cycle batteries also have thicker plates inside the case. Normal car batteries will not discharge to the level or last as long as a deep cycle battery.As to how long it will last (lifespan) also depends on usage. Deep cycle batteries can be stored (fully charged) up to 12 months and only lose 25% of their capacity. Again depends on age of battery. Most RV's have a system where the deep cycle (RV) battery is constantly charged when the engine is running and most too will have a battery charge indicator on a control panel inside the RV itself.
How do you equalize deep cycle batteries?
You equalize deep cycle batteries by charging with a higher than normal voltage for a short period of time. Consult the manufacturer for details.
1990 f250 drains battery after a couple of days but would always start with jumper cables Last time I jumped it died after removing jumper cables Now won't start What happened?
I'd suspect the alternator. The vehicle can run off a minimal battery charge, but if the alternator has failed the battery will eventually discharge. Understand that a battery is simply an electrical energy STORAGE DEVICE. The battery is there so that the engine can be started, but once the engine is running the alternator is supposed to re-charge the battery, replacing the electrical energy that was used to start the engine. BTW, automotive batteries are not designed for "deep cycle discharge", and you should try to avoid that if possible.
Can I replace three 8 volt batteries with two 12 volt deep cycle marine batteries in golf cart.?
it should work as long as the batteries are connected in series + to - what you would need to check is if the charger for the cart charges 24v or 8v if it is 8v you would need to get a 24v charger for it it would be possible to charge the batteries with a 12v charger but it would need to be hooked to each battery separately
How To Maximize Rechargeable & Replacement Batteries?
With the cost of new batteries being as high as they are today, buying rechargeable and replacement battery sets is much more cost-effective. This choice also reduces the amount of hazardous waste emptied into the landfills. Recharging devices and battery sets can be purchased for about the cost of 50 batteries. Most have a recharge number of at least 1,000. When used incorrectly, these batteries may have a much shorter life. This article will explain how to maximize the life of rechargeable batteries.Be sure to use the batteries and chargers from the same manufacturer. For example, don't use a Duracell battery on an Energizer charger. Not all rechargeable batteries are made exactly the same, so this is very important. Some chargers may not be designed to charge other types of batteries, resulting in a slight charge and shorter overall life. Never over-charge a battery. When they are over-charged, they also overheat, which takes a great portion of the battery's life.Always use the entire charge on a battery. Every time the battery is placed in the charging unit, this initiates a new cycle. Most people are unaware of this fact; it is not usually printed in instruction manuals or on the device's package. Using the battery for a while, then placing it on the charger when it has 30% of its charge cycle left will result in loss of that 30%. Each trip to the charger is what weakens the battery, even though it will be fully recharged. Always keep this in mind when deciding when to place batteries in the charger. Always keep a replacement set fully charged and ready to go, so it will be possible to use the entire charge cycle without being inconvenienced.Don't let charged batteries sit unused for long periods of time. It is best to use batteries as soon as they're charged - or shortly after. If the replacement batteries must sit for a long time, charge them no more than a week or two before they will actually be needed. However, don't let the battery sit with absolutely no charge. There should be a charge of about 20%-50% as it sits. When batteries sit unattended, they will automatically lose their charge. A completely empty battery will stop working faster and the number of effective charge cycles will be reduced if it sits empty for a long period of time. Batteries should be stored away from sunlight in a cool and dry location.
