RickOnt Posted May 25, 2023 Report Posted May 25, 2023 Can I use my Eliminater charger? It is a in the garage charger not on board It has 2a 10a 20a and 40a settings Also has a CCA setting No start setting
KraTToR Posted May 25, 2023 Report Posted May 25, 2023 Yes, it will work fine but you'll benefit in the long run by having a dedicated charger. As a rule of thumb your battery charger should be 10% - 20% of the Ah rating of the battery. E.g A 100Ah battery would require a 10 Amp charger as a minimum. To prevent overcharging, you should keep the charger size to within 30% of the total capacity.
RickOnt Posted May 25, 2023 Author Report Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) the batttery I am looking at has 105ah rating So I should use the 10a setting on the charger correct?? Edited May 25, 2023 by RickOnt

Based on what I wrote above you could use up to 30 amps so I would use 10 or 20 (on board chargers typically max out at 15A). Most important thing is not to partially charge or leave it discharged for long periods. 1
