fishinwrench Posted June 29 Posted June 29 If you've followed any of my past rants/opinions you might remember that I have never been a fan of ANY onboard battery chargers.......Well here's one that I'm becoming a fan of. Does exactly what it's supposed to, doesn't get hot, and has lasted 4 years so far. 👍 Has even saved a 1 year old cranking battery that had discharged completely because an accessory was left on & I was ready to replace.

I have two of those chargers one in each boat. One lithium iron phosphate 100amp I use for my deep cycle battery I use from boat to boat. Those chargers keep that battery happy.

Most all automatic chargers cycle to 15v repeatedly.....which works fine, but generates a lot of heat inside the charger itself. This one monitors the battery voltage and coaxes it up more gradually, 0.3v at a time, and could likely lessen the boiling, and obviously reduces the heat. It might take a little longer but I think it is way safer. And probably a better way to maintain a battery. The "12v Repair" function just feeds it 12.6v for 4 hours, then goes through a normal charge function......and Hey, it WORKS ! 👍 BilletHead and nomolites 1 1
Terrierman Posted June 30 Posted June 30 The portable ones will make a lawnmower battery last from now on. A true stable genius. fishinwrench, BilletHead and nomolites 3
jdmidwest Posted June 30 Posted June 30 I have them on both of my boats, work like a charm. Bought them during Covid when other chargers were out of stock. And they have performed well since. fishinwrench 1 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
