Do the unit wires always remain on the batteries even when you are using the trolling motor etc.

Yes, after you mount your unit and attach the charger wires to the batteries you are good to go, no need to remove them from the batteries.
80908
Yes they do. You have to set each battery up for each wire so it knows what kind of battery it will be charging and they stay connected all the time. I have used this unit for over a year now and I think its great. When I get home from the lake all I have to do is plug the one cord in and all three of my batteries are charge in the morning when I"m ready to go again.

Yes. It is just a momentary on off switch. It has no effect on the variable speed of the trolling motor.

Mine is hard wired with no problem on batteries. Have low voltage buttons with transformer.

it will keep the battery fully charged but can also hurt the batteries there are only so many charges a battery can take, also it will keep pulling power so when its fully charged I prefer to unplug the controller

I have mine mounted on my kayak and it stays plugged up to me trolling motor battery while it's in use. Thus far I haven't had any problems with it.

I connected mine through my head units woring harness. Some have stated wiring it directly to the battery. I personally like using the had units wires. Its all color coated so its easy

No, all It does is turn the motor on & off. It is extremely helpful in that you can leave the motor on the speed that you want & simply press the Bigfoot button for a burst of power in the direction that you want, or leave your foot on it for continuous power. Very helpful in trolling. It really completes a hand controlled trolling motor, & worth every penny!

I have mine hooked to 4 waverunners 24/7 when they are not on the water, batteries start to die when they are not getting some kind of charge thats why you want them hooked up when you are not playing with your toy.

Yes it does. I unplug mine when I don't use it and it is always back where it was.

The batteries are in the unit and I haven't had any problems to check. I do like the unit....so do the neighbors.

The only issue I've encountered with these switches is, if you aren't careful about the in and out wires you can wire it so that it works but eats batteries, because you are tripping the relay with the battery if wired incorrectly. I have two units and like them

Mine is connected all of the time to the two 12V batteries that are connected in series. It keeps the batteries desulfated and has even restored a battery that I had given up on..no worries in leaving it connected all of the time!

I have had one of these wired onto my bike for several months and have not had a problem with it draining my battery. But I also keep all my bikes on battery tenders.

Yes BUT I had to rewire my remote as it wouldn't even drive my truck also the instructions I got with my truck was for a buggy not a truck but luckily I found a pdf online and was able to fix it. It might have helped that I am an electrician so I know how these are wired although I'm sure that the company would have sent me a new one if I had contacted them we were very helpful when I contacted them before I've had mine now one year and it works great still. I would recommend that u store it in a controlled climate if you live in cold weather like do these are a lot of fun but require knowledge to to keep running and maintain hope this helps Yes BUT I had to rewire my remote as it wouldn't even drive my truck also the instructions I got with my truck was for a buggy not a truck but luckily I found a pdf online and was able to fix it.

No it does not. I keep the pair of permanent plus and minus wires hooked -up and just pull it in when I park the car. I drive this car about once a month and it is aways ready to go.

The 2 that my daughters have always stay on. I bought them several months ago and there haven't been any issues with the batteries yet. I suppose that it draws very little power from the batteries.

One should leave the unit wired onto the batteries constantly. The unit does run on 110 volts. I plug the unit in when dockside and it keeps my batteries* charged automatically. *-I have the two battery model. Just wire it up and plug it in the keep batteries charged. when it is not being used (i.e. plugged into 110 volt) it doesn't allow back feed into charger from battery or other sources.
