Rated 5 out of 5 Great charger
Charger is used to maintain boat battery in between uses. Voltage is perfect for a dependable start. Do leave it connected while using the boat so when at anchor the battery is being maintained.

I go bass fishing all day long, and was hoping that this would extend the battery life for long days of trolling. It may have a little, but I still need to carry a second battery. This is a trickle charger, which would take my Optima marine battery several hours to fully charge. While it does work, don't expect to connect it while trolling and fish all day. It is not designed for that.

I'm looking at attaching this to a garage where my boat sits for 9 months out of the year, but the roof is 20 feet high. I would need about 30 feet I'm guessing. Is extending the cable length possible?
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:Â
The wire that comes connected to it appears to be about a 18 gauge wire. If you were to add 25' to 30' of 14 gauge wire by using very tightly installed wire nuts or, in my opinion, soldering this wire extension & insulating the joints, I don't think you'd have any problems. I would be more concerned about debris covering or breaking this panel.
A:Â
The short answer is: you're probably just fine. There is inherent voltage drop that will happen, but the amount of loss will be negligible. I would be more concerned with ensuring you don't go on vacation and find a burned down boat and/or garage. Use a good Deutsch style connector and make sure everything is weatherproofed.Details:Â

IF YOU MEAN TWO CHARGERS FOR TWO BATTERIES ,WHY NOT.OR EVEN TWO UNITS FOR ONE BATTERY AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT EXCEEDING THE VOLTAGE LIMITS AND JUST GIVING IT A HARDER CHARGE LIKE A PLUG IN CHARGER WOULD DO FOR 2AMPS/10AMPS.(slow or fast)

No, since it's a trickle charge it will just keep on charging. There is no shut off when the batter is fully charged.Answers

Curiosity gets the best of me on this item; wondering if it would be possible to use the item just to power a 14lb thrust trolling motor only with the sun.Answers
A:Â
no this device is a trickle charge wouldnt hold upA:Â
A motor will need more amps than this unit can put out . It only keeps a trickle charge to your battery even while in use.Details:Â
I lost the instructions that came with the unit. I remember briefly something about it being properly connected if the light is green and not connected/ problems if its red. But I'm pretty sure I connected it fine, and it's still red. Does this mean that it's still charging, or that there is something wrong with the unit?Answers
A:Â
no the light stays red the brighter the red the better the correct hookup isA:Â
i believe when its hooked up correctly the red light just gets more red ??????A:Â
LED is never green...working properly if light is redDetails:Â
