Does this charge deep cycle batteries properly? The description says yes, but I see reviews that indicate otherwise.

This Charger , in my opinion, is a great charger and I have three (3) of them. I have charged deep cycle batteries with good results. I guess you need to discuss your concersn with the people who say it does not work well for deep cycle batteries. Research is important prior to your final decision.

Yes, I feel it charges all my batteries properly. I have used it on conentional, deep cycle , and AGM batteries. I select battery type and like to use the percentage readout and watch till it it reads 100%. This can take longer than you might expect as I think it tapers off as battery fully charges.

I had a bad experience with charger right out of box. Sent it back to the manufacturer to have it inspected. The charger came back damaged due to improper packing by Schumacher. I have no use for this charger other that an expensive paper weight. It never worked for me out of the box.

Sorry, all I have ever used it on are my car and lawnmower. I have been very impressed with it though.

It does in fact charge deep cell batteries properly, however, I would advise you consider buying another unit. The instructions are in three languages, and is so tiny, you may need a magnifying glass to read it.

Sure thing Hoppy-Doodle! I even called technical support at DeWalt earlier today (around 2:45pm CST) and they told me that it will work and will actually fully charge all batteries from 7.2 volts - 18 volts in an hour or less. I can tell you from charging my 9.6 volt batteries that it's amazing how fast I can fully charge both of my batteries and be ready to use them again. So the answer to your question is YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!!

Don't quite understand your question. Regardless, tested with charging two trolling batteries together and worked well. Hope this helps.

Yes, I charge mine with this charger, only takes a couple of hours per battery.

No it does not. Just give status of each battery as its going thru the charge cycle. It probably works this way because you can charge different capacity batteries like AA and AAA in the same charge cycle.

It will. I have it on a deep cycle battery just like you use for trolling although mine is hooked to an electric gate opener. Should do the trick. Mine is working great so far and I've never had to take the battery to the house and charge it in eight months.

Hey there, I have never tried to charged batteries of other brands. I thought they mention that it shouldn't charge with other brands..

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

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.

Sorry, I don't know for sure. My best guess is no, reasoning, deep cycle batteries are usually very expensive, this one is not. I use a ups to protect computers and equipment from surges and momentary/ short term outages and for that purpose these things are fine.

If you place the batteries face up with the 3 contacts on your left and the slide them into the recessed slot, the charger will work just fine. I have used it for charging 3 different brands of batteries and had no trouble at all.

The best way to fully charge a deep cycle, especially if not used for auto is to use a 3 stage smart charger....this is the ONLY way to fully charge a deep cycle battery.

I have it connected to a deep cycle battery on my ex and it does not charge it. I am very disappointed with it so far.

I know that it had a charge, but regardless, I always try to put my batteries through a full charge and drain cycle as many times as possible when I first get them. It helps condition the batteries for max performance.

I'm not sure about this ? but I believe it will work O K . I have used this charger on auto batteries, on marine deep cycle and various types of the smaller sealed batteries such as those used in the small electric cars that children ride in for hours at a time.

I wish I could answer that. I power mine with a deep cycle battery. I can say that it uses very little power to work and works very well. It is a really great value

It works fine with NiMH batteries. Just charged my NiMH today. Not sure where is was written, I use this charger with a NiMH battery, it works fine.
