Title: Portable Batteries Suitable for Charging Marine Batteries
Post by: spacecityguy on Mar 16, 2021, 01:23 PM
Hi,

Boating newbie here curious about the best way to charge my boat that is stored on a dry stack. I have an onboard charger for my deep cycle battery but no a/c power access at storage. It seems my options would be either to remove the battery and take it home to charge it between uses or to charge it with a portable power source while using the boat. I have read about using gas-powered generators to charge it onboard but am curious if there is a lighter and less combustive solutions. With the portable power banks getting more and more power, I notice lately there are batter-operated power stations that claim to be able to charge car/marine batteries. Curious to know what the experienced folks think about using something like this I came across on amazon to charge my boat's batteries.

Solar?

Is there a source for sunlight?

I use one for my boat trailer winch deep cycle battery and it works great.

This is the one I use -
