The guy was using a 750ml battery tender to charge it but I ran it hard Sunday on a trolling motor.have no idea what percentage of the battery I used was but couldn't fish it Monday because the green light hadn't come on yet.Īs it turns out.it took 30-36 hours to reach full charge (green light).Īlso.may be an old wives tale from the previous boat owner.but he told me I need to charge it real slow like that to get better performance out of the battery, better battery life, etc. I just bought a used boat which has electric trolling motors and a MAXX Ever Start 114 amp hours deep cycle battery. Use the link below to see our large selection of battery chargers and 12v/24v trickle chargers. Hopefully, we’ve helped you figure out which is the best charger for your application. Multi-bank chargers for charging multiple batteries simultaneously.Chargers that double as power supplies for RV use.
Waterproof chargers for those times when you’re out in the elements.MULTI VOLTAGE Input chargers for use when visiting a foreign country.Other types of chargers and the reasons you might need them: Others require a fast and powerful charger to quickly restore a trolling motor battery or a wheelchair battery set. In these cases, a simple low current charger will work fine. Some folks require a charger to keep their motorcycle, classic car, or aircraft battery charged during the offseason. Step 3: Choosing a Battery Charger Based on Desired Outcome The most important thing is to make sure you have enough charger power to do the job you require in the time you allocate. If you’re not in a hurry, you can select a smaller charger. Some folks wanting quick recharge should look for a charger with more amps, such as a golf cart charger. To calculate your total charge time for a battery, a good rule of thumb is to take the amp hour rating of the battery and divide by the charger rating (amps) and then add about 10% for the extra time to totally top off the battery. It would take a 10 amp charger about 11 hours to recharge a dead battery to near 100% full charge. Another instance would be a marine deep cycle battery rated at 100 amp hours. For example, a typical full-size auto battery is about 50 amp hours, so you would choose a 10 amp charger that would take about 6 hours to recharge it if the battery were completely dead. We don’t mean physical size, but how many amp hours your battery stores. However, some of our gel cell chargers will work well with the other battery types.
Whether your battery is maintenance free, wet cell (flooded), AGM (absorbed glass mat), gel cell or VRLA (valve-regulated lead acid), one charger should work for all types except for gel cell. Step 1: Choosing a Charger Based on Battery Type
