Marine Battery Chargers

Nothing is more frustrating (and sometimes dangerous) than a dead battery. Why risk getting caught out in the middle of the water and completely ruining your trip? Marine battery chargers can give you the confidence you need to go anywhere at anytime. Don't wait until it is too late to buy one. Marine battery chargers are very moderately priced, and you only have to use it once for it to be well worth the cost.

Be sure to shop online for battery chargers. They are the type of product that you can find excellent deals online. Just as an example, I went to the world's largest online retailer - Amazon.com - and found these fantastic deals.

The Guest 2611A Charge Pro Series Marine Battery Charger is made for harsh environments whether you are talking extreme moisture, shock, or vibration. It has a 3-stage switching electronic circuit which eliminates reverse polarity, ignition, and short-circuiting. It has double outputs of 5 amps each providing 10 amps total. The DC output has 2 cables with ring terminals that are four feet long.

What I really like about these marine battery chargers is there ability to maintain their power during storage. They don't do a whole lot of good if they aren't ready when you need them, and the maintenance mode on this Guest 2611A ensures it is ready all the time. This charger works for 12v or 24 v systems. It can be easily installed in the battery compartment of your boar or vehicle for easy access.

This Schumacher SE-1-12S charger is not quite as portable, but it can do the job just as well. It is a 1.5 amp charger with a 12 foot power cord which charges 12 volt batteries. It comes in a weatherproof case and plugs into any electrical wall outlet. It is a great charger for boats, automobiles, golf carts, and tractors.

These marine battery chargers are very convenient for keeping batteries in tip top shape without dragging out the normal chargers and cables. It may take several hours to charge a dead battery to full life so this may not be the best choice for resurrecting a battery. But this Schumacher charger is fantastic for maintaining batteries and keeping them running.

I really like this product because it has a battery monitor which allows you to leave it connected to the battery all the time and letting the charger determine when a charge is needed. This charger has been reviewed 32 times on Amazon.com, and 18 of those reviews have been 5 stars.

The final charger we will look at is one of the best portable marine battery chargers I have found. It is the MinnKota MK-105P Portable Battery Charger. MinnKota has been an industry leader for the past 75 years, and they don't make no junk if you know what I mean. This particular charger is made to for 12v batteries. You can't under-charge or over-charge with this product, and it prevents short circuits and reverse polarity. It comes with a 3-year warranty.

Customers who have purchased this MinnKota Portable battery charger rave about how long their batteries last.
