I'm looking for something to hook up to my trolling motor battery, can I use the battery while this is trickle charging?

Yes, I have mine attached to my battery in my boat 24/7 (at least in the summer) and use the boat at the same time. Don't expect this charger to come anywhere close to charging your battery while using the trolling motor tho. Connect it and forget it.

I use mine this past weekend. I had the panel charging a 12V marine battery through a solar controller and had a 12v fan running in my trailer at the same time. Seemed to work just fine.

Amazon has something that will work. Search "24 Volt SLA Battery Float Charger". The price is $25. You will need the connector from your old charger or purchase a connector that will fit the plug on the battery box. Attach the connector to the wires from the trickle charger to the connector - MAKE SURE YOU GET POLARITY CORRECT. I got rid of my Neuton a few years ago because it ate batteries and cut poorly otherwise I would look and tell you the polarity of the connector.

Please forgive my ignorance Arthur. I purchased this to trickle charge my Optima Batteries. I am not sure if you can jump start, but you would need to have it plugged in. There is no battery in the unit. Very light.

This is essentially a battery charger. The items you wish to run run on AC where this device is DC. Generally what you would use this to trickle charge a battery that is connected to a small inverter, that converts DC to AC. You would then plug your devices to the inverter. Note This panel output may fall short if you are using these appliances allot.

this is a connector to your battery MAINTAINER not a charger. Its recommended to be connected after the battery is charged.

I don't see any reason why you cannot trickle charge a 12 Volt DC battery with the solar panel. Although it will maintain a fully charged battery ,however, it will not charge a weak or dead battery. I presume that answers your question.

Not exactly sure of the question but it will charge two trolling batteries at the same time. I would put the cranking batteriy on a two battery switch and charge it separately when and if it needs charging. You can separate your trolling batteries to avoid running down the cranking/starting battrty. Hope this helps.

It should be fine it is a trickle charger As long as it has a three pin plug in

This is from the charge cradles product description "if you leave a worn-down battery in for four to 10 hours, the charger conditions the battery with a tune-up mode, and at completion, it automatically converts to trickle charge, so you'll never damage a battery by leaving it in the charger too long."My guess is you can. I would consider it if I used it frequently

You could do that, sure, but the idea of the charger is to maintain, not recharge. They should call it a maintainer instead! It won't charge a dead battery; rather, it'll keep a live battery from going dead. So--if you know the battery is live, you might do as you've said, but if your trailer was mine, I'd keep the battery attached to the charger full time. That's what I do, and it works. Eric

I would NOT recommend that you do this.. It can probably be done but this charger monitors a battery for the level of discharge as well as the level of charge. If it were the exact same battery with the exact level of discharge maybe but I don't see that happening.. I would NOT recommend you do this..

It trickle charges. The charger has no way of telling when the battery is full so it keeps supplying 5 volt power to the USB port. Personally I prefer this as it means the battery is 100% charged in the morning.

Im assuming that thd miata has a smaller battery than the typical full sized car. This trickle charger is made specifically for motorcycle batteries, but if you need smaller ampage, it should be fine. Good luck!

I have used it on a battery that wouldn't even turn the engine by leaving it connected for about an hour and then the car started no problem. I do believe it will act like a charger in a situation like that till you have used all the stored energy. I don't think you can use it like a trickle charger though, its not a battery tender.

Dear Art S,Thank you for your inquiry and interest in Nature Power 40014 6-Watt Solar Powered 12-Volt Battery Trickle Charger.This product, " To trickle charge the battery yes ".DavidClickhere2shop

Yes, I hooked a 5w trickle charger panel to a 12v battery and it worked well. Might want to go with a 15w panel however- mine loses charge if I leave it on 24/7.

The battery can obviously be charged, so yes it could be done. However, I suspect one would absolutely have to have a trickle charger of the correct voltage. You could check with the battery manufacturer to determine what amp rate is acceptable, and then charge it. Myself, I would get two batteries, change them out as needed and charge the one that is out of the machine. I say this because, one of the great things about this fence charger is that the circuitry is protected from the multitude of power surges during summer thunderstorms here in the Deep South. Those power line surges damage and can even destroy the circuitry of something like a fence charger. Solar chargers are of course exempt from such issues, giving them a very long life. Hooking it to a battery charger while that battery is in the fence charger would eliminate that advantage. Just my thoughts.
