will this work for charging a MARINE DEEP CYCLE battery requiring a load of 12V - 16amp - 190 watts? and it does How?

I used this for charging a smaller battery, a motorcycle battery, and discharging into a power inverter for landscape lights at nights. If you are going to maintain the battery without loads then yes I would say. It only produces 10 watts.

I would not recommend it unless you are using as a system to charge for several SUNNY days after each use. This is a 75W charger. You could look at potentially buying two chargers, just keep in mind these are solar, so you are dependent on the sun, but it did work great for my boat battery. If you are driving a lot, you might want to look into buying an alternator or if your boat is not designed for one, you might want to consider a portable generator. It really depends on how you plan to use the power source.

I have it charging a deep cell battery in my barn. I use it to run my lights and and ceiling winch and I also use it to charge my tractor battery. I hope this helps you. I think it would work well for you

This is really for charging 12v batteries. Not aboe to directly charge laptops, etc, becuse the output in 12V from the controller. We use this on our RV to charge 4 marine batteries with the 30AMP controller, and run inverters to run appliances. It would be overkill to use this with inverters just for basic recharging, but it CAN be done.

Sorry, I don't know the answer. My boat has a dual battery 12 volt system. I routinely use the batteries (and run the engine) with the charger running.

Hi There I run the inverter off of a 27D size 12 volt battery on my boat that is charged from a 120 amp alternator off of the motor.

I think you would be better off to use an inverter with alligator clips to run lights with a 12 volt Marine battery. ( I am assuming these lights are interior lights.)

I believe so. I have it charging a deep cycle 12v marine battery (car sized battery) and it does quite well. I use a charge controller as well to maintain that charge when not in use.

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.

It's only 100 watts so I just use it for a 12volt marine deep cycle battery. It comes with Anderson PowerPole connectors and a set with Alligator clips. It will recharge a vehicles battery as well.

This charger will charge any six (6) or twelve (12) volt battery. It is not the type of charger you would leave inside a boat for charging. If you remove the batteries from the boat or charge them in an open area where there is no possibility of a fire or explosion you will be pleased with the results. I use them for my boat but I stay right with the batteries and charger while the charging takes place. In general, this is not a Marine charger that you would install in a boat. I have several of these chargers and have been extremely pleased with the performance and when I required any information or help, the Factory was very helpful. I hope this answers your question.

I'm not an expert but I don't think this thing draws hardly any watts or amps etc. I lost my instruction booklet because half of the unit stopped working and MinnKota said it can't be fixed. I kept it to use as a trickle charger for cars, boats etc. I would think almost any generator would make this charger work. It' basically a trickle charger so it's gonna run your generator a long time to charge a battery a battery. You might want a more powerful charger depending on your use to shorten the generator run time..

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 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.

I am using a 10w on my deep cycle battery on my boat. It keeps it fully charged after a few day of sitting in the driveway.

Yes. My boat has an automatic on-board charger. Any 12volt automatic charger will work.

This would work, but 1 12v deep cycle marine battery will not last very long. I use this with a bank of 4 marine batteries at 220ah each in my bus and it is good enough for about 12 hours using lights, TV, Radio, and mini fridge. Most people use 6v golf cart batteries. You can wire 2 together in series to make 12v, and then you can wire sets of 2 in parralell to increase amp hours (how long they last. The other thing to consider is a means of charging the battery when not in use. If you are using a single battery, a 6 amp "smart" multi-stage charger should be fine. I use a 45amp-maxx 4 stage smart charger from Go Power. Works great! This would work, but 1 12v deep cycle marine battery will not last very long.

This works as a battery maintainer, not a battery charger. If you want to charge a battery for a power inverter, you need a much larger solar panel. To put this in perspective, this provides around 2.5 watts maximum. The 12v power plug in most cars is capable of more than 100 watts. I have mine attached to a deep cycle RV battery and it will barely maintain the charge, even with the battery disconnected fro the trailer.

Well yea, use a battery charger , or a deep cycle charger with a max of 35 amp .Most deep cycle batteries use a slow charge rate anyway which is a lower amp charger.Just keep the amp below 30 to 35 amp @ 12 volt. This is not a 24 or more system charger.
