BOAT BATTERY CHARGERS

A Car battery charger typically charges one battery at a time to 95% and cannot charge two as the full charge one will always hog all the power.

Should not be left connected while drawing a lot of power.....ie engine cranking and several hours of eberspacher...or it will overheat and cut out.

It is not designed to do this on a regular basis.

Boat battery chargers

can charge several batteries as they are connected separately and as one is charged it will charge the next.

Only charges to 75% 80%. This is to stop too much Explosive Hydrogen gas being released into your boat.

Can provide more power on a continuous basis, running eberspacher for severals hours no problem.

If you want a charger for your garage to look after one battery at a time over winter... then buy the car one.

If you want to fit a charger to your boat then best buy the boat one.

Sterling battery chargers can charge 3 batteries and it is possible to fit a switch to the charging leads to direct the chargers, and also a main battery switch to isolate the batteries

It works well but you need to be dedicated to keep flicking switches.
