Which is it? Powered by 4D batteries and/or a plug in, or plug in only? This is major. I don't want my marine battery and converter getting hit.

it is 4 d batteries and 110volt power ... but I would advise you not to buy it I sent mine back ... very cheaply made all plastic. look at walmart online for a pitching machine. it is perfect and it adjusts to young to older kids also it is almost the same price !! hope you don't buy this one

It can be powered by either. Don't waste your money on this product though. Very poorly made and breaks easily.

I can't remember to be honest if it takes batteries. My experience with it was so bad that we never actually used it. We had it set up and were adjusting it as it had virtually 0 power in tossing the ball and I turned the adjustment knob so far that it released from the spring -- there is absolutely no way a human can get it back on.

I'm not a battery or marine expert, but I really don't see an issue. This is a great little battery, and the only issue I've been told is to keep it charged above 8v. I used mine on a custom 1975 Honda CB200. This little battery cranks it.

One should leave the unit wired onto the batteries constantly. The unit does run on 110 volts. I plug the unit in when dockside and it keeps my batteries* charged automatically. *-I have the two battery model. Just wire it up and plug it in the keep batteries charged. when it is not being used (i.e. plugged into 110 volt) it doesn't allow back feed into charger from battery or other sources.

vA=w(Volts)(amps)=watts. Regardless of AC or DC. And lead acid batteries work fine, just use a true deep cycle battery like a 6vdc "golf cart" type battery. These are much better than Marine deep cycle. Just make sure your input DC volts matches the units input parameters. The main issue is the battery charging. Lead acid has a different charging parameter than whatever is in this unit... sealed agm probably. Just bypass the charging circuit and add an appropriate charge controller. There are many good ones on the market.

Yes, I have 2 4D batteries. I also have a Guest battery selector. I can charge either battery or both.

If you know nothing about this, maybe you shouldn't own a boat! The short answer is NO, you wire it in with your boat battery.

It is 24 volt so you would need 2 deep cycle marine batteries. Any brand would is fine.

I charge my batteries with the pro mariner 20 and run lights, bilge pumps, etc with no problem. Obviously you need to run the charger to the batteries and not directly to lights, etc.

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.

It would be best to power up the marine outlet with it's own source of power. Be sure to use an in line fuse.

The only power is the AC plug. Portability in this case means it can be used in or out of your boat, since it is light and compact.

Most vehicles use a negative ground. In general, when servicing a battery, you should always disconnect the ground side first. That way, if your wrench slips and you hit part of the vehicle, you'll just be connecting the ground side of the battery to the ground of the vehicle, which causes no harm. If you slipped when loosening the positive post, and the ground was still connected, you could connect the positive terminal of the battery to the ground, which would cause arcing, or worse. So, because of that safety issue, people always disconnect the ground side first, and switches like this are usually placed on the ground side. Disconnecting either battery terminal will stop the battery from charging, since you no longer have a complete circuit through the battery. If you leave your RV plugged in constantly, and leave the battery connected continuously, be sure that your RV's battery charger is well regulated. (Although, perhaps that's why you wanted this switch in the first place-to prevent your charger from overcharging the RV battery.) Handy Bob's Blog, HandyBobSolar, has a big page of good information about RV battery charging. It's the page entitled "The RV Battery Charging Puzzle". I think I'm not allowed to insert links here, so you'll need to Google for it. Handy Bob says the biggest problem with typical RV converters is that some of them never get the batteries fully charged, even if left plugged in 24 hrs/day. Handy Bob goes on to suggest buying a large automotive battery charger, one that puts out 25 amps, and use that a few hours each day. That sounds like overcharging to me, but he's the authority here. Personally, I use a smart charger to top off my batteries, and I generally disconnect them from the vehicle before charging, and it's a low-amperage charger, as well. Mine's the 7 Amp NOCO Genius charger, and I think it's sufficient, but I'm only charging medium-sized batteries one at a time.

Go with Power Bright Inverters instead to start with.Any 12 volt source such as a Marine or Auto battery will do being properly grounded. Just remember the charging and discharging factor

You can use either power supply ac/or dc with this product, because it comes with an adapter to do both. I guess if you needed it on your boat or camper you could do so with no problem.

It is directly wired to the boat electrical system, to be mounted to the dash. No batteries. Just in case, FYI, this is a MARINE GPS.

No! There isn't a need to plug anything into a receptacle anyway. This is just a solar charger to charge items hooked into the solar charger itself. It doesn't have any on board batteries.

You must connect to at least one decent-sized battery. The bank size and controllers you would need to figure on your own.I've run mine connected to 3 marine batteries in parallel with just the recommended controller: GudCraft CD5.0 12V Charge Controller for Wind Generator Wind TurbineThis turbine is burly! It's withstood winds of over 60 MPH and kept the power coming!
