Marine Accessories

Remember last summer when you went to get your boat out of storage to take your first boat outing of the year and you could not go anywhere because your battery was dead and you did not have a marine battery charger and you wasted one day that you could have been on the water trying to get your boat going.  Their are a large variety of marine battery chargers on the market for you to choose from and to keep in your storage unit so you will not have to go through this again.

This last summer did you get stuck because of dead batteries well maybe a battery charger would be a good gift for the boat owner.  The boat owner will not think about the needed marine batter charger until the next time the boat will not start so be a good friend and pick up a battery charger from the large selection of marine battery chargers.

Introducing the Guest Intelligent Choice Battery Charger System. These Guest marine battery chargers are the most advanced devices developed by Guest and feature a departure from the traditional Guest potted construction while maintaining the bullet proof quality that has made Guest the leader in charging systems. The brains of the new Intelligent Choice Charger are evidenced in the control center which is located at the top of the charger. This membrane covered panel is positioned for easy view of all functions and easy access to the user selectable buttons. The control center features easy to read LED Indicators of charge status, user selectable buttons to tailor the charge for specific battery types (AGM/Flooded or Gel) per output, and warning indicators to alert you before a serious problem. The heart of the electronics system is mounted on an anodized aluminum base to provide efficient heat dissipation and decreased weight. The circuits are coated in epoxy to protect the sensitive electronic components from water or vibration. The charger case is slotted on the sides to provide convection cooling of the anodized aluminum base plate while maintaining an IP65 Water Resistance standard. And, as part of an integrated battery charging/monitoring system, the new Intelligent Choice Battery Chargers will provide you with the most advanced and reliable system available today.

Now that warm or even hot weather is here it is the time when it is very hard on your marine battery and a must time to have a good marine battery charger so that you do not loose time on the water because that is why you went to your favorite lake or river.  Their are many types of chargers as well a maintance battery chargers just make sure you are taking care of your batteries.

Tired of Replacing Batteries Every Two Years?
A better Understanding of Batteries Will Help Resolve Your Problems
by David Pascoe

One of the most common problems I run into on surveys is dead or severely depleted  batteries. The usual reason why boat batteries are dead is due to having the wrong type, size or quality to meet the vessel’s demands. Truly good batteries are expensive and there are few boat builders that provide good batteries with new vessels; usually the quality is minimal, the amount of power inadequate, and the type ill-suited. The subject of batteries can be rather complex, but I’m sure most boat owners would rather not know too much about the details of how batteries work (or fail to work). The discussion of batteries can be divided into two major topics, battery construction and application, and charging. This essay deals mainly with battery construction and application, and will help you gain a better understanding of what type is best for your application, as well as what is needed to maintain them for longest service life and reliability. Application means the type of boat you have, how it is used, and the kinds of equipment on it.

Advanced Electronic, Fully Automatic 3-Step Marine Battery Charger

• Distributed On-Demand Charging – Automatically senses and distributes full amps to any one bank or combination of all banks.
• Faster Charging – 2 to 3 times faster than traditional battery chargers with true 3 step charging technology. Each step is electronically controlled for the fastest charge.
• Professional Performance – 100% battery charge guaranteed. 100% charging output with AC power as low as 90 VAC while using long extension cords at the dock, lodging site or home. Proven to condition and extend the life of your batteries.
• Compact Lightweight Design – Rugged Space Saver all aluminum housing is half the height of leading traditional chargers. Unit is not potted and is completely serviceable for lifetime of use under ProMariner’s lifetime repair guarantee.
• Easy Operation – Pre-wired for easy installation. On-board Push-to-Test charge level and mode indicators . Internal battery selection-lead acid, gel or AGM compatible.
• True 3 Step Charging Electronically controlled for the Fastest Charge
• Step 1: Fast Charge – Charger delivers maximum amperage to batteries for the fastest charge (current regulation mode) until battery voltage is raised to 14.6 VDC.
• Step 2: Absorption Charge – Maximizes charge and holds voltage at 14.6 VDC for 3 hours (voltage regulation mode) reducing sulfate buildup and conditions batteries.
• Step 3: Float Mode – A precision 13.3 VDC finishing voltage that maintains your batteries, (step down voltage regulation mode) which is perfect for short or long storage periods and will never overcharge your batteries.
• Faster Charging 100% Charge Guaranteed
• ProMariner’s advanced electronic technology will deliver 2 times the amps to your batteries in the same amount of time when compared to leading traditional linear chargers. That means the ProTournament will charge your batteries twice as fast.
