will this only work on deep cycle marine/rv batteries

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.

Don't know as I have only used on deep cycle battery. I don't see any reason why not.

it should work like any other solar charger, just do not overcharge any battery.

Works good on my trolling motor battery (Deep Cycle). It has kept it charged all summer. I keep it plugged in all the time. No issues.

It may not get the battery to a peak of 14.4V, but it will get it to a close to full charge condition. However, remember this thing charges at about 1 Amp. For a Marine Battery, it will take a long time if it is discharged. It will work fine if you are only trying to keep it at full charge.

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

i use it to charge two deep cycle batteries on our camper. the batteries do not get heavy use but it does the job.

The PD website doesn't indicate one way or the other. I wouldn't hesitate to use it with AGM batteries. AGM batteries are a waste of money for RVs unless you are doing serious off roading and need the vibration resistance or ability to mount at any angle. Otherwise a good quality deep cycle battery is a much better choice.

Hello Frank, Any good MARINE deep cycle battery will do. They look like auto batteries and can be found wherever batteries are sold. Think about how far you will be traveling on average, and ask a competent sales person about the correct size. I bought a battery for abt. $55 and have never had a problem. Good Luck

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.

Yes, But you will have to periodically keep re-charging that Marine battery! Hooked up and turned on means the Inverter is pulling a bit of current even when nothing is plugged into it, To not use up the battery you need to just turn it on when needed. Make sure you put fuses from the battery to the inverter also!

I use a 12 volt car battery. It runs all afternoon on it. It would probably run even longer on a deep cycle marine battery.

I don't think this is a deep cycle battery, but you should check with the manufacter. It works great for the application that I wanted it for.

Yes. I use mine to keep a deep cycle 12V marine battery charged. 12 volts is just a nominal term for the average target output of a battery used in a 12V system. When fully charged, all batteries exceed their rated voltage.

I am charging 4 deep cycle marine batteries with no problems using this charge controller. So with your use it should work fine.

I'm thinking it would work using a marine/boat battery (deep cycle) but they're pretty heavy.

This operates off your 12 volt coach battery. So as long as your coach battery has a charge, the device will work. This does mean however that you need to disconnect your coach battery when the RV is not being used for long periods of time. Otherwise the coach battery will go dead.

This is a starting battery not a heavy duty deep cycle battery. It would work but you should buy the heaven duty deep cycle battery for a longer life...

It has ring type connectors to hook up to the battery, it works great for marine applications.

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 !
