How long do you charge the boat battery?

1.5 / 2 hours. The charger will quit charging once the battery's capacity is reached.

I left the boat charging the battery for about three hours. Once I saw the charger's green light I unplugged it from the battery, place the battery in the boat, and plugged the power cable inside the boat. It doesn't have a switch inside the boat. It turns on once you place it in the water. I place in the bath tube to make sure it was working before going out in the swing pool. I had to adjust the knob at the remote to get it going...This weekend I went to the beaches and my son and I played with, and we had lots of fun together. Hope this helps.

The boat I use has a 12 volt battery, the outboard motor has an alternator that keeps it charged.

It connects to two 12 volt batteries inside a boat . Its called a onboard battery charger because it stays inside the boat and you just have to plug a extension cord into it at the back of boat. It will charge one or two batteries (24 VOLT system).

I bought mine a year ago and have been using a standard 12 Volt battery in my boat. Never had a problem and it does it all. I use it to steer my ipilot troweling motor.

I got mine hooked right up to the main battery in my boat.. I guess it's up to how long your gonna use it for.

According to the manual, "Charge time depends on cranking rate and duration. For example turning the crank at about 2 turns per second for 90 seconds should power the radio for about 10 minutes." The battery pack is 3.6V, 300mAH. It would probably take about 5 minutes of cranking to fully charge it, longer than most people would be willing to do continuously.

There is a factory installed battery that is supposed to last ten years. I installed one on my last boat and it is still going after twelve years.

I would think so Alan, but maybe ought to call Battery Tender. I leave my two boats plugged in for months at a time, and when I'm ready...they're ready...at least the batteries are!

Although I have only had to use it a couple times I would say it takes around 30 minutes to charge a dead battery.

I actually don't know but I'd contact the manufacturer/customer service. Some of the remote boats sell extra batteries. It did take a full 5 hours to charge the battery when my grandson got this for Christmas.

Everyone says they get only 5 to 10 minutes on each battery charge. My son has more than 30 minutes of fun time each use. Please ensure you are letting the battery charge all night the night before you have to use it. Great Boat. I will not even want $58.00 for it. More please!

about 30 seconds of cranking will charge it for 15 minutes or more. I haven't found myself cranking it all the time as it tends to get enough sunlight to keep it reasonably charged.

The battery can be removed from the bicycle and charged without being attached to the bike. It can take from 4 to 8 hours to fully charge the battery, the incremental progress is not known or has yet to be determined. I hook my battery up to the charger every other night for about 6 hours; owners manual says you should never charge it longer than 18 hours continuously.

The stock battery is kinda small, pick up a 1600mAh and you should get about 8-10 minutes. Don't feel bad, the really big and fast boats that go 60mph plus only last about 2-3 minutes!

Leave it in the charger as long as you want and it won't hurt the battery. It takes about 9 hours to fully charge. Therefore, I suggest you have two batteries.

The Blue Sea is designed like a battery tender, it charges the main (engine starter) first. When the main is charged it will start charging the auxiliary battery. If you run your auxiliary battery a lot (accessories) then you will need to run the engine for quite a while to recharge or use a separate battery charger (110 volts). My suggestion is to install a small solar charger to help keep the auxiliary battery charged while using your boat and it will also charge up and keep charged your battery when not in use. This products does what it's supposed to do.
