I want to use it at the boat for charging two floating tubes, do you think that it will be able to do it or the battery won't be enough?

It will totally handle that task! I have used it to blow up multiple Queen sized double tall air mattresses for camping without losing any power off of one charging.

Our pump has lasted a whole weekend camping trip. Inflated more than one air bed, topping them off at night and inflating some inner tubes, and deflating the beds on departture. So I would say no problem.

My Batteries would not take a charge. So after the first time I used it I couldn't use it again

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.

No. it would probably surge to high and would drain the battery in minutes. I tried to run my AC on my boat and it immediately dropped to 60% battery. You would probably have to string multiple batteries to it for that to work... Like 10 more.

I'm not entirely sure, but the total charging output for two batteries is 10 amps. I would say a generator output of 1150 watts (amps times voltage = watts) would be needed. The on-line manual may show a more specific information. I don't have easy access to my manual right now since it's with my boat which is in storage right now. I will say that at full charge to both batteries, the unit does get very warm, thus the large heat sink fins built into the case. This is a well built, solid unit. I have had no problems with it. I hope this helps.

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!

Not sure the on board charge in my boat will turn on and off when battery need charged. The charger on the pump is the same amperage but not positive that the charger is of the quality as DUAL PRO charger in my rig. Everything looks lit it should work but to be safe, I would try to contact customer support.

Yes would work great I power mine with a 12v car battery all night when out fishing , the light must , must be in the water or it will get to hot and burn out quickly

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.

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.

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

It will work as long as you are in (or on) water. I do not know what type of boat you will have, but I have had two of these units (on different boats) If you have a kayak or canoe, then buy a small 12v sealed lead/acid battery - about 8 amps (also available from Amazon for about $15.) l The Humminbird fishfinders are reliable and a great buy.

I've got a 12volt everlast marine battery. Seemed a little big for my pontoon but it works just fine. Don't have a fish finder yet but depending on the size of boat your using I'm sure connecting it to the battery wouldn't hurt. That's what I plan on doing.

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.

Barbara, not really sure. I have 2 batteries. I use it keep them topped off when the boat is not in use. It works well. they stay fully charged. I have left the live well running all night with the unit plugged in and it seem to keep the battery topped off. sorry I don't know more about it. I like the unit though.

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.

Sorry, I don't know the answer. My boat has a dual battery 12 volt system. I routinely use the batteries (and run the engine) with the charger running.

Yep, you should be able to hook them up to two 12 volt batteries permanently as the wires are set that way. I didn't have room to mount the charger in the boat so I bought some battery clamps for the end of the wires that hook to the batteries and charge them that way. When the batteries are fully charged, I pull the clamps, unplug the charger, and store the charger away. I like this better as I can see when the batteries are fully charged and not have the charger continuing to trickle charge the battery. Although, they say that is ok. So far, this charge works great!!
