addy79 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I need to charge a marine battery for my Minn Kota (haven't done it in ages). My charger has a 12V and a 6V setting on it, which do I use?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimaster Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yep 12v, you can adjust the amperage if thats available as an option... the lower the amperage the longer it will take, but will generally give you a deep charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addy79 Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 12V it is, thanks guys. Is there any other maintenance you can do to a marine battery if its been in storage for about a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 12V it is, thanks guys. Is there any other maintenance you can do to a marine battery if its been in storage for about a year? Make sure it's a auto charger! The manual may overcharge?,be carefull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not religious, but you might want to pray. For your own curiosity, google "battery sulfation" and you will find out what happens to an idle battery that undergoes no maintenance. Your money, time to learn and save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
