Does it have a float cycle to protect the battery?

Bob,It goes straight into float mode once the battery is fully charged eliminating overcharging and any heat (cooking out the battery). It's also fully protected from overload just in case you forget to disconnect the charger before starting the vehicle - it resets in an hour or two when completely disconnected from AC and the battery if that happens. Hope that helps,haXor

I'm not entirely certain, and I'm not near where the manual can be easily reached. From what I could remember, this unit pretty much did everything the battery tender did but more reliably. I vaguely recall that the web page that Schumacher has may have the PDF if you would like to download it for you to do some more research.

Yes this model has a pull start on it in case the battery should lose it's charge. To reduce the chance of the battery losing a charge, there's a button to make sure that there's no drain on the battery when not in use, and also just starting it up about once a month or so is recommended.

O K Allen, I double checked this item over the weekend. The stobe is LED and bright enough depending on batteries. I was under the impression from previous question that this unit floats. It does NOT float. It does however self activate when placed in water. Not instantly, but within 30-45 seconds and slight movement. The real deal for safty is that this item needs to be attached to your PFD. The strap provided is enough for attachment.

Yes it does, it is waterproof up to 33 feet underwater, just make sure if you use it underwater to dry it off completely before opening the part where the battery is so it doesnt mess up the hardware inside!

Yes. The float will turn it off and on, but you must make sure you do not submerge the power plug.

I never left it sitting. I always had it plugged into the float charger. That is what is so frustrating, the float charger is designed to stay connected all the time to prevent battery failure. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

No, there is over-charge protection built into the battery. With that being said, I still remove my batteries when I see the charge is complete. The 18 month warranty doesn't hurt either :-)

No it does not as far as I can tell. At lease we didn't put one in and I don't immediately see a place to put a battery.

There's a rubber backing and the clip to close it seems tight. However, I wouldn't dip the battery housing under water if I were you, as I'm not sure whether the button to turn it on is water tight. (I've thrown the manual away so I can't check.) I'd say the battery housing is splash proof at best. I love this gadget though as it provides an instant fresh water shower on my speedboat.

Yes, it does, check out the website and read all the specifications on this unit. Don't leave the boat connected to the battery bank while charging, over-amperage conditions might present themselves, disconnect the negative cables which bond the batteries and the boat together. If in salt water, make sure your zincs are in good shape.

No it does not. I have had luck with these batteries and use them a lot. It costs so little that even if one of them fails it is still worth it !!!

Yes. It comes with a battery already installed. When it senses water, it will cut on and tell you the temp.

No, it does not. I tried to install one, and you can't. The plug is so tight, there is no way you can buy a separate float and install it. I recommend a better brand with a float switch.

Yes. It has a gasket to protect it from the elements. I have mine mounted outside on my travel trailer to quickly turn off my battery and there has been no issues.

The battery case above the back wheel of the bike is durable plastic and the plug-in connection/prongs are well-protected from water, whether from rain or ground splashes. The motor on the front wheel is encased within a 5 inch metal hub and there is a weatherproof connector to the wiring that runs from the motor to the battery along the frame. I haven't ridden my Prodeco in the rain, puddles or shallow streams, but I'm not worried about a malfunction if I do. I wouldn't ride it into a lake and immerse it though.

It should have a regulator that when it reaches full charge it will "float" the battery charge... try renogy Web site for more info or call them... I had a question and they were very helpful and knowledgeable

Once the battery is fully charged, the controller will float the charge to the battery, this prevents overcharging. In other words, the controller ceases the charging once its full.
