Is there a Automatic Float Charging System?

Yes. 3 lights on the front. Red,red,green = good to go! This jumper is worth every penny!

From what I can tell, it should charge automatically. Here's the manual: http://www.etoncorp.com/sites/default/files/manual_RuggedRukus_040912LoRes.pdf

Mine was ready to go right out of the box and powered my fish finder for 5 hours with no problems. I got a quick charger with a charging level moniter from a local discount vendor for $20 that works wonderfully.

My charger makes a similar clicking sound in the float mode, which appears to be its normal cycling process. It's holding my batteries at 13.3 volts which is near ideal and is apparently not over-charging.

You need a balance charger. Inexpensive ones can be found at www.hobbyking.com.

You can also remove the float and activate the on switch manually whenever you want.

Sure but not fast. Better than a float charger but not like a 10 amp or larger unit. Maybe overnight.

No. You will need to purchase a 1.5 ampere battery "float" charger (also known as a "battery tender") that provides a trickle charge to the battery to keep it charged and conditioned. Several models are available on Amazon and are reasonably priced. (Of course, you can always use the manual pull start at any time.) I have used mine since Hurricane Irene and it has performed flawlessly with the battery used with the Champion generator. I would also suggest you ensure that the battery floater has features that automatically adjusts for variations in temperature so that it doesn't under or overcharge and has a "conditioner" or "maintainer" feature that keeps batteries free of sulfate build-up.

It's also a maintainer think it's the same thing as a floater.it will charge first then maintain voltage level.

Yes, the old-fashioned way. Maintains a constant voltage, that causes the battery to automatically go trickle charge once it's charged

I charge both my trolling and starting batteries as the charger goes to float charging after the batteries are fully charged. I like to know that both batteries are ready to go in the morning.

Yes, the charger is an automatic charger. It will charge the cart and then maintain it.

Yes it is. It comes on automatically when the water reaches the level to activate the switch on the float.

No. The dock is basically a passthrough for the USB cable. You plug your USB cable in the dock and the dock has a micro-USB connector of its own. What you are looking for is an external battery charger.

It's automatic-Just install "D" cell main batteries and batteries in the LEDs will charge in a few hours

Hi, The charge controller we use is Morningstar sunsaver charge controller. They have been very reliable.

No, you just push down on the controller once set in the cradle and it "clicks" into place and starts charging. It's instant.
