Can it be used on enclosed maintainence free batteries???

I read on the Schumacher sc-200a manual and it said: 2.4 Use only with lead acid batteries Never with dry cell batteries I dont have info on maintenance free batteries, but i hope this helps you

It was used in my brothers electric cart (like a Jazzy). The batteries were enclosed but it was by no means airtight. I never measured it with instrumentation but we suffered no ill effects while they were used in the house. So it didn't but it might. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

I use it on my marine battery on my boat. As long as everything is off/you don't let the vehicle sit for a long period...it works great. Not enough to keep the juice up if something is using the battery for a long period of time without running the vehicle/vessel.

I haven't tried it but I don't see why not. I didn't see anything on the packaging restricting the use of rechargeable batteries.

yes, use it regularly to stop the buildup. if you use it on an old battery with a lot of buildup it may fall loose in chunks and short the plates at the bottom of the battery anyway.

I would not advise this as batteries can leak or explode when not specifically made for recharging.

I use mine in my garage in Central Florida where the humidity is very high most of the year and not had any problems with it. Mine appears to be completely sealed against weather but I suspect it may leak around the contacts where it is plugged in, so never use it outside and exposed to the rain. I use stainless steel bolts, washers and nut on my batteries because they do rust/corrode.

Yes. It depend on the rechargeable battery type. even though most modern rechargeable batteries have long shelf life span, some loose power faster when not powering anything. I guess you do not want to keep on changing batteries. I used normal Duracell batteries on this and it last more than 6 month now (through out the winter) and still running. But if you have a rechargeable batteries with long "shelf life", you can use them.

One problem is that the manufacturer doesn't give this use an OK. For low voltage connections--up to 48 volts--try Noco brand NCP-2 battery terminal spray. It doesn't completely dry, but it will keep connections corrosion free to maintain a good connection and reduce friction between moving contacts. I've used NCP-2 since the 1970's for this purpose.

You could check with the manufacturer, but I believe this was designed for lead acid batteries only.

According to the instructions, it should only be used for marine batteries when off the boat. If operated in a confined space it could cause an explosion.

I don't know if the batteries will run down, but it's never a good idea to leave alkaline batteries installed in any device if it's not used regularly because of the possibility of leakage and corrosion.

It's designed to work from the 12V ports. If you have a port that connects directly to the battery (one that's on all the time it's the preferred one) otherwise you can use the port that you have available. You can't enclose it there has to be air circulation around it.

I put mine in the butter drawer on my refrigerator, I read this about saving other type of batteries. No scientific evidence to prove if this works or not, but I haven't noticed any degradation in quality by doing this.

Not that I'm aware of as i have only used this for motorcycle batteries and so have others.

I work at batteries plus. No you cannot! It will burn out the cells in the batteries. Never use more volt to charge less volt.

Hmmm... I would not know as I have never worked one of those. If the battery housing dimension are the same, and voltage / amperage are comparable, then maybe.
