siwash Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 Just bought a G27 deep cycle and a dual purpose 24 Marine. Based on the charger I have (see attached) what should I put my charging settings at? thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaShag Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 a buddy who is an electrician says use the highest amps you have for charging deep cycle batteries. But I would buy an intelligent battery charger that shuts off when the battery is fully charged.............. Doug 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I’ve always charged at the highest amp rating, and used the trickle for occasional maintenance. Shag is not wrong, we recently got a smart charger for the place up north and it’s pretty sweet, but sometimes you have to dance with what brung you!

GBW Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 For ATV/SeaDoo and batteries of the like we say 2A/12V for 5 to 6 hours the first time for a new unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So could you "over charge" with what I got? No risk of damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siwash Posted August 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Any recommendations for a good charger (under $100 preferably)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTC has their Nautilus charger on this week at $91.99. I bought one yesterday: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/motomaster-nautilus-smart-battery-charger-maintainer-15-8-2-amp-12v-0111973p.html?loc=plp I had bought this one, but it did not work and I returned it: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/motomaster-classic-series-smart-battery-charger-maintainer-fully-automatic-15-8-2-amp-12v-0111975p.html?loc=plp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkpie Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 I have the original nautilus charger, it’s nowhere near as smart, but I’ve had it for 20 something years and it keeps on ticking. Looks like a good buy to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 I have an older version of this one that I use. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/motomaster-classic-series-smart-battery-charger-maintainer-fully-automatic-15-8-2-amp-12v-0111975p.html?loc=plp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 10a auto, should drop down to maintenance (2a) when the battery gets to a high enough charge level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siwash Posted August 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 The one I got seems to be working well... Batteries seem good may just stick to what I got for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
