can this charger be mounted on a boat and hold up to outside use

Yes I have had one for 2 years mounted on a inclosed trailer out in the sun everyday and it has held up very well!

I cannot answer that question. I think from all I have read about this charger it cannot overcharge or undercharge its built into the charger. I use mine to charge my boat trolling motor and when the green light comes on I always disconnect it. I have never left mine on to continually charge. Some battery chargers will damage the battery if they don't switch to the maintenance cycle. But once again I think this battery charger it's all built in to not overcharge. That's why I bought it. Hope this helps some. I am just telling you how I use mine and I have never left mine hooked up past the full charge. Sorry. I cannot answer that question.

I believe that would be fine. The instructions show it attached to a boat. There are mounting holes.

Its water resistant.. You can mount to to a surface.. But its not designed to be in Wet locations. Batterey life is depented upn use.. WE suggest you install it with Good Rechargeable batteries such as eneloop once the included Alkaline batteries are used up.

I currently use two of them on my boat. They are great! I run my fridge, Sirius Radio, and Microwave off of one. There have been no issues. I also keep them charged when not in use utilizing the NOCO Genius dual bank system.(http://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GEN2-Waterproof-Battery-Charger/dp/B003JSJS5I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1430916778&sr;=8-1&keywords;=genius+battery+charger+dual)

I would think it would charge it no problem. I would leave it in maintenance mode or automatic mode, to prevent damage to the battery .. the chargers do a good job deciding what mode works best depending on the battery voltage. I have mine running to marine 12 volts and two 6 volts hooked in series. When they are pretty much drained it will take around an hour to bring them back. What i like is if I'm using a lot of power it will adjust its output automatically..

I have owned several and they are safe to leave unattended on my houseboat in the winter, but always plugged into a grounded wall socket. They pull too much voltage to plug into a cigarette lighter i would think. could drain your battery very quickly and maybe even short out the heater.

Yes, just don't get it packed with sand. That's never good on electronics. We use ours on the boat every weekend in FL

I wouldn't use it for that purpose exactly. The electrical draw of the motor would exceed the capacity of the panel to recharge while in use. However, you could use the panel to charge the battery when not in active use on the boat.

Yes. It will work just as well in a boat. Just follow the directions that come with it.

Yes it will work. How long it will last depends on alot of things such as the size of the boat, the speed you are running it at, etc etc.

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.

Would not recommend in open air in the elements when not in use (i.e., rain, etc) as there is a motor/exhaust on the side (top if cooler is on its side like the photo I see while writing this). Also if boat is in ocean/salt water expect corrosion over time on the internal electronics. We use ours in car / in hotel rooms.

yes. terminals are not corrosion proofed for marine use but there is no reason this battery\shouldnt work on a kayak. it is just a small sealed lead acid battery like many trolling and motorcycle batteries.It would be great to chargé cell phones, run low load music, or LED lights. Check amphour needs before expecting many miles of trolling motor use though.

I have mine mounted on my kayak and it stays plugged up to me trolling motor battery while it's in use. Thus far I haven't had any problems with it.

Yes it can be mounted outside. I have had 2 of them outside for almost 6 years

Honestly I don't know. I don't do much boating, but if the connectors are similar to that of a car battery then there's nothing stopping it from working. One thing I do know is that if it's a sealed lead acid battery do NOT charge it when the voltage gets near 11vt. It'll ruin the battery. As far as the equipment is concerned, I must admit there was something wrong with the packing and they sent me the wrong stuff. I bought a different charge controller called the 'cyclopse' and it worked fine.
