what about for use on an RC boat? I have a boat that runs dual lipos, so would you need 1 or two of these?

Works great!! That's actually what I bought this for... My Joysway Warrior...

It will work any rc, but it is not waterproof.. So you will be safe only if the hull is watertight.. And yes you would need one per battery..

Hello Glenn, I haven't used mine since last summer but as I recall it checks the individual cells and because of that I am pretty sure that you will need one for each battery.

You would need two of them to be 100% safe but if u are using matching lipos they should drain at the same rate ......so if u ran one and stopped as soon as the beeper went off u would probably be ok .....but I would recommend using one for each battery

I run dual lipo's but I only monitor one battery at a time. When the alarm sounds for the one I charge both. The monitor will handle several different cell batteries but I believe only one battery per monitor. It works well for me and a lot cheaper than a new esc.

You'll need two unless there is an adaptor. I haven't found an adaptor. Venom has a great tech support line if you give them a call they will beach more helpful

No I do not believe so - I use mine on my boat with 4 - 12 volt batteries and it works great -- 6 volt batteries should require less amperage. So it should be more than sufficient. Bill G

Dunno if this one will makeyour truck faster, which kind of batterie areu using right now? If u r still on 6/7cell lithiumion go and switch to 2s lipo packs, for thoseu will need a different loader than the standart one, but buying a lipo loader and 2 lipo packs realyisworth it cause with those u will drive for like 45 minutes, charge them in 1 hour and have like 150% speed and power.GreetingsRoger

I did not use it for that but I think if you use only 1 no, I use it to charge and mountain batteries on my boat and it manages well

Yes, I regularly use lipo 4000 mAh 3 cells. they last for 20 min and you'll get a top speed of 30 mph. I have used 4 cells and got up to 40mph.

I guess it will work while your batteries accept 14 volts of charge. I have 2 batteries on my sailboat and both are been charged simultaneously. Just check that the coach battery is a 12 volts barttery, for the car batery no problem

Absolutely. In fact I don't know of anyone who did not build this boat for RC. Dumas also sells a motor and running hardware set just for this boat. But there are many options out there depending on what you want to do... (go fast or go scale)... She looks NICE out on the lake... GREAT choice for RC!

you can use it with just the motor but if your going to use it with the stock speed control that it comes with it you can only run 2s lipo

Absolutely! I use them on both of my Florida vehicles and they start right up after 6 months. I hook up both boat batteries for 3 days after I return from Florida and they are good to go. Units work great.

The sidewinder esc comes with no connector on it so you can solder whatever end is required for your battery. I highly recommend using a 2s lipo battery. You will be disappointed using the battery that you mentioned. I use deans connectors on all my rc's. Batteries and esc's. Hope this helps.

I bought mine a year ago and have been using a standard 12 Volt battery in my boat. Never had a problem and it does it all. I use it to steer my ipilot troweling motor.

I have used this battery to power a similar trolling motor on a Native Watercraft Ultimate 16 with 2 adults for 2 consecutive days. I do not know how much power was left so I recharged before the third day. This was not constant use, but it was a significant amount of time running on speed levels 3 and 4 of a 5 speed motor. I have done this several times in both river and bay applications. Hope this helps.

Yes, no problem. Of course, the trolling motor should be turned off or it will draw more than the charger can put out and your battery won't get charged. But this is a fine charger for "on-board" use, meaning mounted permanently in the boat or raft.

2s lipo for sure, 3s will run hot and cause the esc to do a thermal shutdown after about 2 mins on a Stampede 4x4 geared 11/52 with proline trenchers

yes that is what I do in my boat for 2 rv batteries and it works great. make sure and get the power regulator so you don't over charge your batteries.

You will likely fry the esc. I am not as familiar with nimhs. I run lipos. Are you running in series or parallel?

Best thing is to look at your manual or look it up online. If your motor isn't designed to handle 11.1 lipo then stay away from it.
