Sep 01, 2008 by dalyman72 | Posted in Boats & Boating

i have a Schumacher battery charger 1 Amp 6&12volt charger and a Autocraft marine battery Deep Cycle Atoc 12volts. can i use the car charger on the marine battery?

thanks

A lot of well-thought-of info here.

Simply put, yes...set on 12 it will not hurt and after a long period it should ramp up the cells to about 12 volts(+/-).

That being said...this is not a fully charged teach for a deep cycle(14V +/-).

How will a deep cycle marine battery affect my car's headlights?

I put a deep cycle marine battery in my car, and now my headlights don't trade. Are the two related?
thanx you guys. I'll give you the points later.

It isn't charged or you up against it some wire or blew a fuse. The only think a 'deep cycle marine battery' will do is allow your headlights to burn much longer, with the engine off, before the battery goes out. It still has 12 volts (or 13.6 volts when fully charged), just more lasting power (it runs down slower, *and takes longer to entrust back up* )
