i have a ford 800 tractor with a car sized 6 volt battery. will this keep it charged?

I would say probably not. I use it to keep up a very small deer feeder battery. I sure it doesn't produce enough watts for the larger battery.

Yes it will charge any 12-volt automotive battery quite well. It will NOT work on my older 6-volt automobiles....JOHN

I do not know the amprage of the unit but I can tell you that I hooked it up to my Ford LTL 9000 highway tractor with three 12 volt batteries and it would not work. I know I had more than enough amprage. It is a cheesy unit, built cheaply, I threw it in the garbage and bought a good one from the NAPA store.

It fits the dimensions, but you'll need to cut the wire harness in the tractor and put your own terminals on there. The knock off works about the same as the peg battery. No better. Also takes a long time to charge on a trickle charger. Cheaper for sure though.

The only way I know to charge this is to plug it into a 120 volt line. But I can tell you that it has worked when other smaller chargers would not start an engine. The other day I helped out a workman whose truck battery would not start, and the small unit he had would not turn the engine fast enough, or supply the amperage for the system. I hooked this monster up and the truck started in one second.

My adapter that I connect this with says 12V DC, 2A, which would be a maximum. So, yes, any battery combination that delivers 12V would work - car/motorcycle/atv/lawn tractor or combinations like 2x6V, or 4x3V or 8x1.5V. Good luck!

I bought this charger because it charges ALL normal batteries 6 volt , 12 volt car , truck, motorcycle big and small tractors . Being a 1.5 amp charger it could take awhile to fully charge a low charged battery .

I used this one in my grandsons pep pergo tractor.I broke open the old battery case and xfered the cables over to this batter so it would charge on existing charger and plug in directlyworks great

It can be charged with the same 12 volt charger as a car battery. Best on trickle charge or low setting charge.

If your mower is 12 volt you can hook directly to the battery. I hooked mine directly to my ATV battery which is 12 volt.

I have a dv6 and it did not fit so I have no idea how long the charge will last

I charged a lawn mower battery,6 volt tractor battery and a 12 volt battery with no problem, make sure the light are coming on and you have the ( + and _ ) on the right post and the charger on the correct settings.

It will do this, but you probably don't need this heavy duty of a battery charger to do just that. I use this on the farm for trucks and equipment.

Had mine on a 12 Volt ATV battery for 4 months . Does not seem to be any problem. It charges so slowly I don't think it could hurt the battery. But does get the job done. Hope this helps.

Gary, I have two of them for my tractors. They keep the tractors charged up over the winter, but my winters only get down to 25 to 32 .

That should work. I use mine to maintain six 6 volt batteries in my golf cart. However I wouldn't use this device as a charger. I think it would take quite awhile to charge batteries that are low. It's main function is to maintain a charge. You might call the company. They were real helpful in answering some questions I had when I bought mine.

yeah sure, it is a trickle charger so the charge rate is a little slower that an 12v alternator or generator. so the principle is the same. there might be one with a little more of a charging rate than for a motorcycle battery. (6 volts versus a 12volt standard battery).
