Does this model charge marine batteries

Sure does just slower charging is best. great charger wouldnt buy any other brand. And dont buy smart charger or electronic they dont charge dead batteries

Yes, as a matter of that that's precisely what I bought it for. If I run the battery all the way down I simply boost it for a very short while then switch to the 10 amp mode. The 2 amp mode works very well as a maintenance.

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.

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!!

The charger not only works with Optima batteries, but other Gel batteries and all types of wet-cell batteries as well, including deep-cycle. I've had mine for a few months now, and I've charged an Optima Red and Yellow tops, Wet-cell Interstate and Sears automotive batteries, as well as a marine battery. The trickle-and-hold feature is a big plus. It's the best, and easiest charger I've ever owned.

Would work with a marine battery with cigarette lighter adapter. Harbor freight probably has a float charger to keep it fully charged.

It has a selector to charge Optima batteries or other batteries. I haven't charged anything besides Optima, but I'm not sure it's worth the extra money either way. I bought mine due to the claim that it can restore Optima's in not-so-optimal condition, but it failed to restore mine. Therefore I don't recommend one because they are so expensive.

If you're referring to deep cycle marine batteries, they will lose their charge through. You can buy a charger for yourself or you can go to a place like batteries plus and have them do it. Of course, if your house doesn't have electricity, then recharging can be tricky!

yes it will charge them with a 1amp power source, also even with a low power USB port, My computer only puts out about .9 amps and it charges 4 2000 mAh AA NI-MH batteries just fine

I don't think so. According to the instructions I have, it charges batteries :PC18BL, PC18BLX, PC18BLEX and PC18B only

Yes. I use mine to keep a deep cycle 12V marine battery charged. 12 volts is just a nominal term for the average target output of a battery used in a 12V system. When fully charged, all batteries exceed their rated voltage.

I have two of the mentioned chargers. I can't answer your question since I keep my chargers plugged in to 110V when boat is not being used. I have owned for a couple of years and am very satisfied with product? These are solid state chargers and should not drain batteries unless there is a problem with chargers or possibly wiring connections.

It actually depends on how you are using the meter. The meter is only one way, which means that if you are using a 'source' to charge your marine battery, then that source is gone and you need the battery to feed the source, you will blow the meter. Technically the battery is the source and whatever you have connected to the battery that takes the battery power is the load. Before you connect and use the meter, explain how you are using it and what information you are looking for.

no, this is designed to work with marine batteries, charged by solar panels. I have two of these for two different solar systems and really like the way they work.

All I can tell you is I have 2 year old battery in my truck that may only drive 1 day a week. In the winter, the battery was showing some hesitation when I turned the ignition key. After 3 days on the charger, no more hesitation. I guess it depends on how low on voltage your marine battery is.

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

I bought a 12 volt marine battery. It lasts longer between charging but costs a little more?

I don't believe so. I was also thinking about buying a marine battery since the reviews are not so good on the watchdog battery. I believe you can drill a small hole in one of the caps that would make the marine battery idea work. You may want to google that approach before you try it though.

I don't know, but I use the Maha charger to recharge these batteries. You could contact Radio Shack and ask them regarding their charger.
