Could you use this to keep a motorcycle battery charged?

My impression is that NO, this is a power source. It is used when one has a DC powered appliance and wants to use the appliance with AC power.

This probably could charge a battery in a pinch as long one doesn't walk off and forget about it, but isn't something to use for off season charge maintenance. Apply the cost of this to a charger design for off season maintenance.

You can, it will not fry the batteries. It will only charge the batter if it needs charging.

of course... like a charm and it will not overcharge any battery including motorcycle batteries... I have the previous version which is wonderful... the new one is even better

I have no problem at all with this. I use it to keep my spare battery charged.

Use a 12v motorcycle battery charger or a lawnmower charger. You can even use a car battery charger just keep the charging rate under 2A. If you going to be using it for a scooter or something that doesn't provide a charge just get a trickle charger and use it on the weekends to keep it topped off.

While it might be awkward, you certainly could use a 12 volt automotive or marine battery. In fact, while I use mine with a lawn tractor, I use a marine battery used for a trolling motor rather than the tractor battery. This is because I was experiencing charging problems with the additional load on the tractor battery. I just strap the battery on the mower deck.

I'm using it for that purpose on my old Subaru. It comes with a small charge regulator to properly charge 12 volt batteries.

I'm sure that would work. Buy a small 12-volt battery (motorcycle battery should work) and wire it so that you can remove the positive and negative leads from the battery when not in use. Good luck to you.

Yes if you wire the batteries in series so that total output is 12v. Probably looking at a couple hours if your lucky. I'd put a motorcycle battery in if I were you. Would be about the same size as 2 6v batteries.

Why not, it's purpose is to keep the battery at full charge where the power goes at that is not a factor.

Will not work for a motorcycle battery the nozzle is to large, for my ATV's I use a bottle that I got from a scientific lab supply company with a long clear plastic nozzle.

Yes you can use this to power a device with a higher voltage requirement than what your motorcycle runs on. Assuming a 12v system, you could run up to a 35v device. You just need to make sure the amperage draw from the device isn't more than this unit can do, and more than your motorcycle can take.

I am not sure of that. I always charge mine from my home charger and use it on the road with my motorcycle.

Don't see why not - the boat battery is simply a power source. The device just draws what it needs, right? The connection is provided by the USB port.

Actually you could If you had a converter for the plug. I wouldn't recc this for a motorcycle though. I bought it for the same reason and it crapped out way to soon. 4 times. I just gave up on the 4th Jacket

I used it to recharge a nearly depleted battery for my Suzuki SV650 motorcycle and the battery was only one year old. I just forgot to take it out of my motorcycle at the end of the season and drip charge it through the winter. It gave it enough juice to get my bike started so I could start the riding season again.

I just ordered it for a jet ski battery which is pretty much a motorcycle battery. I will let you know.
