Can I charge a marine motor with this?

It charge for 12V Lead-acid batteries.Maximum charge voltage about 14.8V.Maximum charge current is 25A.( Charge current is limited by the voltage(14.8V) and 25A.)

You can charge a marine battery if you take it out of the boat and charge on shore. DO NOT charge a battery in a boat with anything but a marine rated battery charger. Anything from VERY rapid corrosion of your outdrive to your boat exploding could result. People that don't understand marine technical issues shouldn't attempt to answer questions like this.

Manual says you can charge marine battery but you have to remove the battery from the boat and charge on shore. To charge while connected, you need a special charger that is designed for marine use.I think they are trying to say it'll work but the charger is not water-resistant.

I just picked up a battery at my local fleet farm. The key is to ensure that you get a marine battery since it is going to be subjected to constant trickle charging and full discharge situations. Typically any marine battery will work as the system only needs 12volts to run on. They had a "Resolute MDC24" marine battery on sale, that stated you might be able to find one cheaper through Amazon Prime.

yes. terminals are not corrosion proofed for marine use but there is no reason this battery\shouldnt work on a kayak. it is just a small sealed lead acid battery like many trolling and motorcycle batteries.It would be great to chargé cell phones, run low load music, or LED lights. Check amphour needs before expecting many miles of trolling motor use though.

You can use on a marine diesel unless your boat is Coast Guard approved for taking passengers for hire. In that case you would want to use the UL approved 500MA series.

I wouldn't use it for that purpose exactly. The electrical draw of the motor would exceed the capacity of the panel to recharge while in use. However, you could use the panel to charge the battery when not in active use on the boat.

Yes. I separated my batteries for one to crank the motor and one to run house accessories. When the motor starts, the cranking battery gets charged first, then when 13.2 volts or so are reached the relay turns on and charges the house battery. At this point both batteries are being charged at the same time. My boat has a 70amp alt on it and the system works great. Pain to install but well worth it. Hope this helps. ~ Robert

If you get the 24 volt charger it'll work fine..I use it on my boat hooked up for 24 volts for my trolling motor.

Yes, I use this to charge my motorcycle, it's a bit bulky but would be perfect for your application.

Yes. I use mine to keep a deep cycle 12V marine battery charged. 12 volts is just a nominal term for the average target output of a battery used in a 12V system. When fully charged, all batteries exceed their rated voltage.

Hi msed, that motor should work just fine, the voltage in a 12 volt system varies, so if the motor voltage is rated a little higher it is better. During the charging of a battery the voltage is always higher than the nominal battery voltage of 12 volts by approximently 1.5 .

Would work with a marine battery with cigarette lighter adapter. Harbor freight probably has a float charger to keep it fully charged.

I have only used it for my boat (12V marine battery) and it works fine. It works great for any 12V battery. I am not sure what kind of battery you use. I suggest you contact the manufacturer..they were very helpful to me.

This charger is designed to charge 2 12 volt batteries. You can charge a 24 volt battery with it but it will only charge it to 12 volts, which would be a waste of time. If you are talking about a 24 volt trolling motor for your boat, they use 2 12 volt batteries to power a 24 volt trolling motor. That is what this charger is designed for.

no, this is designed to work with marine batteries, charged by solar panels. I have two of these for two different solar systems and really like the way they work.

I installed it as a battery disconnect in a 20 foot bow-rider motorboat. It disconnects the marine starting battery for a 5.7L V-8 motor which was experiencing a parasitic discharge.

I say , yes . I have had mine out charging my boat battery for a couple years now . It is important to secure them well so they don't rattle around in the wind and break a connection .

Yep they will work with AGM's, I don't have a boat, so I can't answer that part, but as far as the batteries go this is a great charger for them. I would say as long as the battery bank is in a dry area you should be good to go.
