KraTToR Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickOnt Posted May 25, 2023 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
