I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but will this work in marine use, for boat batteries?

It will so long as the charger detrrmines the battery is good. I did notice it won't charge a battery with 0 voltage

I use mine with a Marine deep cycle car battery to power lights and a tablet as a portfolio at an art fair, so yes it'll do the trick.

Absolutely. I'm using it on a 600 AH LiFePo bank on my boat, works great. It works even better on LiFePo than on lead acid.

According to the instructions, it should only be used for marine batteries when off the boat. If operated in a confined space it could cause an explosion.

I wouldn't use it for that purpose exactly. The electrical draw of the motor would exceed the capacity of the panel to recharge while in use. However, you could use the panel to charge the battery when not in active use on the boat.

Just a good deep cycle marine battery. Quality would be relative to your budget. Just make sure it's a deep cycle marine battery.

I use mine on my boat battery. Have not had any problems to date but the boat has not been used a lot so we are talking maybe 5 - 10 charges.

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.

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.

By theory it could if the batteries did not need to much charging. It is only 800ma charger. I would get a larger charger.I use a solar charger on my sail boat for 1 battery.

I would think so Alan, but maybe ought to call Battery Tender. I leave my two boats plugged in for months at a time, and when I'm ready...they're ready...at least the batteries are!

I use it on a 12 volt boat system. It is very bright, you need some power. I doubt what you suggest would be enough.

I dont see why not. I am using on a 12 volt sustem for my sailboat. My battery bank is 880 amps

It's only uses 760 mA =.760 A. You could run it for 40 hours and still start your engine. Normal deep cell marine batteries have 84 amp hours.. So the answer of your question would be yes

Yep they will work with AGM's, I don't have a boat, so I can't answer that part, but as far as the batteries go this is a great charger for them. I would say as long as the battery bank is in a dry area you should be good to go.

I bought mine a year ago and have been using a standard 12 Volt battery in my boat. Never had a problem and it does it all. I use it to steer my ipilot troweling motor.

Hi Oscar,It Will do the job. I use it on my boat to charge the batteries and with a small ShopVac.
