Deep cell battery requires different charger than auto/marine battery??

The perego battery has its own charger. It is not the same as a car battery

Most batter chargers have a deep cell/ auto switch. This charger is for a 12 volt children's toy rider made by peg perego.

I am running my Kota on a 12V deep cycle RV/starting motor. Runs all day on heavy use and i charge it with an old sears 12v battery charger from my grandad. Takes a good 24 hours to recharge but thats the great thing about deep cell batteries, you drain em' dead and just re-charge em.

The 1800mAh battery does indeed have a charge port built into it, the 1600mAh does not. Both battery packs are Lithium-Ion technology, which means you probably do not have any means of using the charge port anyway. Just charge it in your regular desktop charger - for safety! There are automotive 12volt adapters to allow you to use the desktop charger in your vehicle, or you can buy a cigarette lighter adapter which replaces the battery pack for mobile use. Lithium-Ion cells are charged by pulse-reflex method, NOT constant current/voltage! This is done to prevent over heating and possible cell explosions. Be safe!

It is 24 volt so you would need 2 deep cycle marine batteries. Any brand would is fine.

Any marine battery will work for it. 4hrs on full speed and 6 hrs on low speed. I had a group 24 deep cycle marine battery.

Hello;In response to your question. Yes, the charger will work quite well for the Deep cycle battery. I use it on my Marine trolling batteries that draw down to nothing all the time. It works great!Jim

'minimal use'? HF 400 Watt inverter manual: "Deep cycle (marine and RV) batteries can be charged more times than a car battery, and are a better choice for repeated use of the Power Inverter. Do not discharge your car battery more than 10% of its total capacity, and deep cycle batteries more than a 50% discharged state."

By that I guess you mean ones that this charger was not designed to work with right? Well, that is a little tricky based on what you are trying to charge. If it is a commercial battery for a drill, you can get something similar to this if you just type the drill's name or model. You don't have to worry about typing the specific battery model number or the specific charger model number and you will see a few results for just the charger mixed in with the results. I typed craftsman 19v and found this one. If you are trying to charge something else or another tool or battery by another manufacturer and you don't know exactly what you are doing, you are asking for trouble but I will give you a few tips. 1) Lithium ion batteries are ticking time bombs. They will explode if over charged with too much voltage or current. 2) LiPo will explode if wrong polarity is used. 3) Most of them have protections from the things that make them explode and some even have them per cell. Some of them though rely on the charger to be smart enough not to over charge and have odd terminals so you can't charge it in any other charger. 4) They all operate in series and some, like this one, even charge in series. Thus with a multimeter, find the polarity of the battery you want to charge and the approximate voltage (I.e. if you have a 24 volt battery and it has 4 terminals and per two terminals you find that they are 10 volts each when low on charge then one can assume that you have 2 sets of 12 volt batteries in a series) then just get some alligator clips and clip them to another power source or power adapter of the same voltage and then sawpt them between the series. One time I really needed a device and I forgot the charger and I did this by connecting the alligator clips to my car for 30 mins then I swapped them to the other terminals for 30 mins too and it got me out of trouble. Just be really careful not to overcharge. Hope this helps.

The charger in the package you mentioned has the same model number (BCG-34HLD) as the one in this product page. So the only difference is in the four AA batteries included. Personally, I don't trust any NiMH AA cells with capacity 2500mAh or over. They all suffer from rapid-self-discharge problem after a few cycles. That's why I recommend using only low-self-discharge (Pre-Charged) type, such as those 2000mAh cells included in this package.

I would go to Costco and buy a deep cycle marine battery for your application if you have room for it.

Hello Frank,Any good MARINE deep cycle battery will do. They look like auto batteries and can be found wherever batteries are sold. Think about how far you will be traveling on average, and ask a competent sales person about the correct size. I bought a battery for abt. $55 and have never had a problem. Good Luck

Sometimes its better to buy a deep cycle Marine battery if you want a ton of Amps and juice..Keep it charged

You would need a marine deep cycle blue top battery for your application. Yellow tops are for autos heavy on electronics.

your charging options are standard (wet cells-regular or deep cycle),AGM and gel cell. The differences are the voltages it charges at, for instance the AGM and gel charge at a lower peak voltage. If you research how to charge lithium ion batteries it may help you decide, or contact the manufacture.

Yes, you need to set the ESC to LiPo mode to avoid ruining the battery. Also, if you don't already have one, you need a LiPo compatible charger.

I honestly do not know for sure. But I would say that you would want a deep cycle battery (one that can be run out of electricity repeatedly without damage) and this is not a deep cycle battery.

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