I use my car charger on regular charge and it works great I've got 4 of these batteries to operate electrics on my kayak so I do a lot of charging

I don't see why not, but it wouldn't use a high amp setting, the terminals are not designed for heavy power flow.

The battery is only a 7AH size, So I use only a trickle charger of a couple of amp hours.

I would recommend getting a electrical charger. This one is more for something that you don't drive very often like a atv or a lawnmower. This only being 2.4 watts, isn't powerful enough to charge a car battery. It's really just for maintaining. I bet it would take a long time to fully charge a car battery.

I used my car charger with a 12-volt battery with a power socket attached to it to power the charger, and it worked just fine.

I just looked at my charger, its 12VDC / 2 amp, same output as a car cigarette lighter. It is a Positive TIP (center) and Negative Outside jack. As long as you get an adaptor to fit unit and ensure Positive TIP, it will work. As far Amps, a car battery has as much as 500 amps, but don't worry, your box will only draw the 2 or less amps, only what it needs of the available 500 amps.

It is a very good charger, i us it on only one 12v battery currently, but i see no reason why it would not maintain the charge on your batteries as long as they are hooked as a 12v system, i am sure it would be more effective it you did one at a time and cycled them through

Yes, virtually all road going cars (or all commuters) use 12 Volt Lead Acid Batteries. This Charger is meant for 12 Volt Lead Acid Batteries.(Hybrids and Electrics cars would almost certainly use different types of batteries, since they use the batteries to actually move the car)

I'm using it for that purpose on my old Subaru. It comes with a small charge regulator to properly charge 12 volt batteries.

If you are asking "can I use this to power a battery charger" the answer depends on what the charger needs for power. There should be a label somewhere on the charger listing volts and amps. If the label lists 12VDC and no more than 1 Amp or 1000 ma then this power supply will work. If you are asking"will this work for my 12V battery charger" the answer is no. You need a power supply rated at 14.5V to charge a 12V lead acid battery.

Car chargers are designed for 12 volt systems. This should work fine provided the connecting port for the device matches.

Also -- the charger comes with a 12 volt adapter plug so -- anywhere there is a vehicle or battery, you can use the charger!

Any 12 volt battery charger will work. Just search for 12 volt charger and maintainer and expect to pay $10 to 20. I use Battery Tender Junior 021-0123

Yup! I use it on my 12 Volt boat batteries and my 12 Volt car batteries. Like it because it shuts itself off when reaching full charge. My older chargers of a different make could overcharge a battery if left on too long. It is a tad slower than some chargers, but I believe a slow charge is better than a too fast one. I disconnect it when I notice a full charge is reached and in a few months will recharge the battery if the battery is left unused. Hope this helps.

Yes. You can recharge 12v batteries with this unit. You can also charge cell phones and other portable electronic devices that use a 12v socket like you find in your vehicle to recharge. We carry cables for all sort of connectors; such as eye hooks, terminal post, or 12v male/female sockets.

The unit itself does not charge up. This unit is used to charge 12 volt automotive batteries.

As long as its a 12v DC charger it will charge any 12v battery, it just takes longe with deep cycle batteries.

Yes, any 12 volt car battery will work. I prefer using a deep cycle battery.

It's not meant to be a battery charger. It's for emergency use like jump starting your vehicle. You can use some of the other feature like air compressor for tire if you like. If you are looking for a good car battery charger try the Schumacher SE-82-6 ($24) - just attached cable, plugin the power cord to your AC outlet and wait a few hours for the battery to charge up. BTW, most car batter charger uses your AC outlet to charge the battery. Hope this helps.
