Will the SE-125A charge maintenance free and deep cycle battries?

yes . i use mine often on all types of lead acid batteries, mostly associated with boating, fishing needs including deep cycle and maintenance free batteries. i purchased this same charger earlier and was so pleased i got another one for a different location. both have always worked very well !
442142
Yes it will and it will float charge once battery is fully charged so no worries of boiling the acid out
442143
yes it will charge both. also it has 125 amp starting capability and automatic shut off when the battery is charged for safety. it is the finest small charger that I have ever owned. I have 2 and one is 20yrs old and still functions.

You need a sealed (so the gasses generated by the charging process don't corrode the computer parts) deep cycle battery made for solar panels. I bought mine on Amazon. Charge it completely before you install it.

most maintenance-free models come as a "fresh pack", which means the battery and the acid are separated until it is time for installation. this way the customer can be sure the battery is totally fresh and not used. activation procedure is simple and instructions are included. after activation the battery needs to be slow-charged and then is sealed with included permanent cap.

Yep it will charge it to 100% then will go into maintenance mode when fully charged.

You can charge it to full with a normal lead acid battery charger, but do not keep it charging. Unplug it after the charger indicates full. The trickle/maintenance charge feature will damage the battery. But the good new is you probably won't need a charger at all. For the past six months I have only been riding (or cranking and letting it idle) once every two or three weeks and the battery stays charged. But if you can't live without a trickle charger, they offer a charger specialized for this type of battery, that won't cause any damage.

I actually have 4 of these 100W panels, with 3 VMAXtanks Vmaxsir 125 AGM deep cycle 12V 125ah rechargeable batteries. Today I ran 3 circuits in my house. One for the computer, the A/C motor on my central A/C, and my refrigerator. This configuration is exceeding my expectations!

I have the Oral B Triumph, and I replaced the battery. It's a bit of a finicky job, involving unsoldering and soldering, but the $5.00 replacement battery I got has been working like new for weeks. You can find directions on YouTube. If you get the replacement battery and mess up the job, you're out $5.00, but it might be worth trying. You could also bring it to someone who works on electronics and him do it.

I had an a/c tech check and then charge the system. It was not precharged.Good Luck

No, you must purchase an additional battery that costs $500. Just kidding, every electronic device will come with a battery pre-installed.

Yes, needs a special charger/maintainer otherwise you will drastically shorten it life.

I got two of these units to replace the existing Model #1275's that I had for 10 years. I never cleaned the inside and wouldn't recommend doing it because of the sensitive electronics inside. I would vacuum the outside. The units should not be painted. The only time the cover needs to be removed is to replace the 9 V. battery every 1-2 years. Removal instructions are imprinted on the cover. The cover twists off so the battery can be replaced and is held by a wiring harness and connector. The connector does not have to be removed from the cover to change the battery. I hope this is helpful. Regards, Bob P.

Sometimes its better to buy a deep cycle Marine battery if you want a ton of Amps and juice..Keep it charged

I returned mine due to defects and bought from Leviton. The internal battery gets constantly charged. It costs twice as much but I can also program it to come on at sunset and it automatically switches to daylight savings time

Never thought about it, but it is the only unit that runs full time on that particular bill. The rest is infrequent tool use. Did not notice a change in charges.

I agree with fireatwill's reply. Mine sits for weeks and works OK. I "top off the charge" usually when the green test light and the adjacent red light goes out. Be sure the connections are very securely made to the battery. You likely will not have enough power to crank a completely dead battery on a large high compression engine.

Same here. Interestingly, when I've seen spare batteries listed they are going for $150 (!). If that's the case, you might as well buy another unit from HD and use its battery as a spare.

I did read that the maintainer has a device to evaluate the batteries condition so it does sound possible. I would try it. I think it has a warranty too. Hope that helps, just my 2 cents.
