Will it charge by ac or do you have to also by a charger to tend batteries?

You will have to buy a separate charger for 110 ac. Minnkota sells a 110ac charger that charges both at one time or you can charge each 12v battery separately in you have a 24v system using a normal battery charger.

It's only a dc to dc charger. I bought a dual bank battery tender also. Setup works great.

it will not charge by ac.you will need to to use to also use an ac charger at some point over night charge (a dc charger will only maintain a batteries)

It only charges off the alternator when the motor is running. I use a couple of battery tenders when parked on the trailer or a solar charger when I leave the boat in the slip.

AC only. You would need your own inverter and a DC power source if you wanted to run on batteries.

No, it does not work from AC. It connects to the boat alternator and charges the batteries as you run. Mine works well enough that I have not had to take the batteries out or charge with AC since I got it.

Recharges by USB. Which, ironically, is the same way it charges other things... Basically, if you have the ability to recharge it, you probably do not need it right then.

Recharging with ac just means you can buy an ac wall charger that converts 120v ac to 12v dc. Essentially all batteries charge off doc current

This unit does NOT charge batteries. It will run on battery power or AC. It does not come with a battery or charger.I am currently using my second DC500. I wore the first one out after years of service. I LOVE it.

The source for the power comes from the A/C 120V adapter that plugs into the wall. You will need two of those to charge two separate batteries most likely

No, the inverter will only invert battery power to 120 Volts AC. You will need a separate charging unit to recharge your batteries.

Hello Steve, Thanks for your interest! We are sorry, but ours only comes with the battery charger and AC cord. We hope this will work for you because we would love to get your business!

Although the unit comes with an AC adapter it's for charging only and for some reason does not allow direct AC use. I found this out the hard way as the batteries do not carry a charge longer than a couple weeks and I tried plugging in and using. Only when the battery was charged could I use it.

You cannot charge this device from AC outlet directly. You plug it into an USB power port on your computer, or an AC-to-USB wall adapter to recharge.

It will come with rechargeable batteries and a charger. I don't believe the batteries will be charged though. It takes a few hours to charge but they last quite a long time.

As far as I know you can power it with a USB but not charge the batteries. I occasionally use a stand alone, rechargeable power source for mine.

It comes with the AC adapter, which powers the unit and charges its internal battery. The instructions recommend that you primarily use the amp on battery power, and only plug it in to charge it (to extend battery life); however, you can use the amp on AC power as well.

It doesn't use a charger. It works on just one AA battery. The lowest part of the black base is unscrewed to load a battery.

It comes with the AC adapter. I use this one on my work bench, so I use it plugged in. I have a different one at my desk that is battery powered. Both of them work well.

Yea. It comes w/ a AC charger so you can have it plugged into the wall to charge
