lets keep this as simple as possible...
will any charger charge your battery?
the simple answer is no

to elaborate on this it has already been said but in more simplistic terms, the charger amp output rating has to correspond with the amp rating of the battery. As for being single phase or 3 phase? that will not matter other than determining the power comsumption the charger uses and the efficency of the charge rate time. Single phase chargers take longer to charge larger batteries and consume more power doing so.

The best solution to finding the correct charger for your needs and how to connect it is to get in touch with an industrial battery company and have them calculate what charger you will need to charge the battery(s) you are wanting to charge.

Let the professionals do it and save yourself alot of headaches.
