My handicapped accessible van is only driven about once a month. Will this charger keep my battery charged?

As the other answers, yes. It will also keep your battery in good condition. At this stage, it has restored my tractor battery and car battery, both now over 5 years old. Tractor battery was about finished until I used this charger on it, now it starts the little diesel readily. Works as advertised.

As long as you keep the battery charger hooked up to your battery between uses, you should have no problems. I left it on my battery without using my car for over six months and it started like new. Good product.

If its the same it should work but I wouldn't recommend this charger because it doesn't completely charge your battery.

I keep one battery on the charger at all times, and switch them once every other day or so. As long as the battery will not be sitting there for several weeks, it will be fine.

The wattage of this unit is too low to charge a completely dead battery. It will only maintain a battery that is already charge,preventing your battery from getting drained even when parked for sometime.

Yes. I would recommend you use a smart charger, like a Battery-Tender, that senses when the battery is getting charged and switches to a trickle charge, to avoid overcharging.

You can, this charger will maintain the battery and never overcharge or destroys the battery

It might, depending upon battery size and how discharged it is - if it is totally discharged, nothing may bring it back, but if it is just really low, you might try to pre-charge it with a regular charger and then maintan it ( which is what the Tender is for) wihe the Battery Tender.Remember, it is only 1.25 amp and I would think you might need at least 2 amps for charging very weak batteries

as long as your battery for your wheelchair is 12 volts, and that the charger is using udner 600 watts, then it should be fine, but some things drain this powerpack more than other things...but i am not sure how long it would charge it..

it will, but i think there are gel battery specific chargers that may do a better job. that said, i had a failing gel battery, an optima, that this charger kept alive for another 8 months or so.

From our experience this charger may recharge a battery if it still has a little life in it. It will not recharge a completely dead battery.

this charger will charge each battery up to 20 amps per bank,as needed.the charger monitors the level of the charge,and maintains the battery at full capacity.I installed this model on a 28ft bayliner,and left it on thru the brutally cold winter,all three batteries are still at 100%

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.

My ATV battery is 12V/10AH. Granted, that's double the size you want to charge, but if it's truly a 12V battery, it shouldn't matter as this is designed to charge 12V's. This product has kept my battery alive, connected to my bike, for the last six months. I don't have a charge controller. Once in a while I will check it with a voltmeter just to be sure - this solar charger keeps the battery between 12.8~13.0 volts. The amperage it puts out is very low. Normally I'm buying a new battery yearly and by the time it's six months old, it'll have trouble cranking my ATV motor. No problems at all here now... the bike kicks over first try. Hope that helps.

No. It will not charge a dead battery. It will keep a charged battery topped off. I purchased mine for a vehicle we rarely dunce that kept killing batteries. After installing this solar charger, the battery has never died again.

I am not an auto-mechanic. I purchased this charger to charge a 12V Marine-grade battery. The battery was completely "dead" but was only a year old. There is a deep cycle-recondition selection. I chose that and it took a full 3 hrs to go through the cycle. It charged the battery, which is now going on 5 years old and STILL re-charging on only the standard charge. I hope that helps answer your question.

I will assume that like any other rechargeable battery, it will. On other similar devices with I-on type batteries, power tools for instance, I found they are still fully charged four months later after sitting around out of the charger. Using my Hoover vac I use up the charge and I'm into the 2nd batter about every 10 days. The manufacturer says they can be safely left in the charger as if working properly it shuts off automatically. Go figure. Gary

You could do that, sure, but the idea of the charger is to maintain, not recharge. They should call it a maintainer instead! It won't charge a dead battery; rather, it'll keep a live battery from going dead. So--if you know the battery is live, you might do as you've said, but if your trailer was mine, I'd keep the battery attached to the charger full time. That's what I do, and it works. Eric
