Any experience with the G7200 for use with boat deep cycle trolling motor batteries that are drained and need to be recharged overnight?

No experience with that charger, but it should do the job. One note to radio operators; you cannot run the charger when receiving as it creates much QRN.

The charger puts out 3.5 amps. Given the size of your battery, simply divide the battery ampere hours by 3.5. For example, an 80 ampere hour battery will take almost 24 hours to be fully charged. A bigger battery, i.e. 160 ampere hours would take almost 48 hours. The time will depend on the state of charge when you put it on the charger.

It will take several days if they are severely drained. Only because they are designed to charge slowly for a deep charge. My trailer batteries are 6 volt deep cycle and take several days to charge.

As far as I know the supplier does not offer a rechargable battery, but there are a variety of sourses for them. I installed mine in my sailboat, power supplied by the 12 volt battery system, and it seems to work without a problem.

I use this battery to power a fish/depth finder in a Kayak. It is relatively small in size. In my application I can use it many hours before it needs to be recharged. It is a "Sealed Lead Acid" battery. I don't believe it would serve your purpose as it is not a deep cycle.

Yes the NOCO Genius G7200 can charge (4) - 12v X 40ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery wired in parallel. Your batteries should be the same chemistry, age and state of charge. The G7200 will charge (1) 40 ah battery with a 50% depth of discharge in approximately 5 hours. Charging (2) 40 ah batteries in parallel would take approximately 10 hours. With (4) batteries you could be looking at a 20 hour period required to charge your battery bank. If you don't have 20 hours to turn around your batteries you may want to use a charger with higher amp output.

I use a marine battery from Wal-Mart. It works great and the cost is reasonable. I use it in a 15-foot jon boat and it lasts all day.

It doesn't come with a battery. The one I bought would last all day with no problem. It usually had 60% or more remaining after use. Buy a good deep cycle marine battery about $200 And you'll be fine all day.

Yes it will jump start a deep cycle battery just as easily as any other 12 volt battery. In fact deep cycle batteries are used on boats and I always take this unit on my boat, just in case. I know it will start me easily if I need it. Deep cycle batteries are made to be discharged a lot more than car batteries and still charge back up to full without damage. Car batteries dont like to be discharged like that, they like to stay more fully charged.

I have 2 deep cycle marine batteries and they meet my needs I would recommend at least 2 maybe 3 depending on your needs. You should check with the manufactur who was extremely helpful to me.

Most boat batteries are deep cell which may need a different charge rate than this unit can provide. Contact your boat battery manufacturer for specific charging specs. If you can use this battery tender then you can only charge one battery at a time. You also cannot leave it connected all the time it will over charge the battery after the green charged light comes on. Amazon should sell the Battery Tender quick disconnect lead that will work with this charger. It has 2 large eyelet ring connectors to the battery a fuse and a plug to the Battery Tender Lead.

Yes, according to the manufacturer, though I haven't done so yet. There is a small flat area on the inside of the right-rear compartment that is meant to be used to attach a trolling motor. Drawback would appear to be the need to sit facing backwards in order to control a simple trolling motor. Also, so far as I can tell, the battery would need to sit unsecured on the floor of the boat. I wasn't aware of the mount mentioned by M. Evans but may look into it to see if it makes mounting a motor easier.

Yes you can. I leave mine hooked up to my bass boat - charging the trolling motor battery as well as the main battery. I leave it plugged in all year, and only unplug it when I get time 2-3 times a year to use my boat. I store the boat in a non-temperature controlled sea container - and I live near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Winter temps can drop down to -45 C (-49 F)

This would work, but 1 12v deep cycle marine battery will not last very long. I use this with a bank of 4 marine batteries at 220ah each in my bus and it is good enough for about 12 hours using lights, TV, Radio, and mini fridge. Most people use 6v golf cart batteries. You can wire 2 together in series to make 12v, and then you can wire sets of 2 in parralell to increase amp hours (how long they last. The other thing to consider is a means of charging the battery when not in use. If you are using a single battery, a 6 amp "smart" multi-stage charger should be fine. I use a 45amp-maxx 4 stage smart charger from Go Power. Works great! This would work, but 1 12v deep cycle marine battery will not last very long.

I use it on a electric walking golf cart. Runs for two rounds without recharging. It is actually a wheelchair battery. Don't know about a trolling motor, seems like a lot more power requirement

sure it will power it but I dont think very long, one would have to know the current or power draw of your motor. I use it to power my fish finder and use a marine battery for the trolling motor ... go all day with the bigger battery .. so I would not depend on this little battery last long on a trolling motor.

Well, spent some time with a friend on his boat yesterday and sure enough the trolling motor placard said to disconnect it before plugging in a charger to the batteries.BUT, his motor had a easy disconnect cord that would have made this a simple operation. Don't know otherwise.... good luck.

5 amps will adequately charge a troll motor battery overnight, but I would NOT recommend the M-K. 3 units failed in 5 years.

The battery is 12 volt, so two in series would be needed to operate a 24 volt trolling motor. That said, check with supplier on operating batteries in series... and I assume the "80" stands for thrust. If true a full throttle operation with two batteries in series would not last more than a couple of hours I will estimate, and maybe less. I use electric trolling motors only at lower power settings and get several hours use before charging.
