I checked the owners manual and it repeatedly states that only 1 battery per channel shall be connected. I am just guessing but it might be part of the over current/battery safety algorithm. More than one battery in a bank and now the max current draw goes up, the time till full charge goes down

Came across this today: http://www.lignum-vitae-bearings.com/industries/marine/ I don't recall if the submarine I was on had this. I will have to check. Speaking of bearings, mine is out. Wound up cutting it out. I was able to extract it about 3/4 inch with my jury rigs. But the going was slow.

Thanks. What is the problem with the pro sport charging 2 batteries on a single bank? I always try to keep identical batteries of the same age on the house bank. I know there is a phenomenon where 2 batteries on the same bank will only charge until the first battery is fully charged, but

I missed the weight, big difference between this one and the comparable Honda. Honda EU2000i = DRY WEIGHT 20.7 KG (45.6 LB) Harbor Freight Predator = Product Weight 29 kg / 63.93 lbs Almost 20 lbs. (40%) heavier for roughly the same generator. Ouch. (that's my back saying that) Ken H. On 28

As you are looking at batteries keep in mind the ProSport chargers will only work with Group 24, 27, 30 and 31 batteries. And if you start looking at AGM batteries,while the standard AGM and flooded battery charging profiles are the same, ‘premium’ AGMs can’t be mixed with ‘standard’ AGMs or

I looked at it yesterday at my local Harbor Freight and decided not to purchase. One of the big factors for me was the weight, just under 70 lbs. That is too much for me to put in a locker and get out. The price is right considering the comparable Honda is $999.00. Tom

ok thanks all. another question. is it possible to start the 20GMF with a handle?  I think i will get the surettes load tested and decide whether or not to replace after that and replace the starter battery with a group 24 (if it fits). We are also hoping to do more cruising and spending time

We have two T12 136ah ( slightly larger and heavier than a group 27 ) Rolls house batteries which are now in their 12th year of service. I was thinking they were near their end of life but a battery equalization last year seems to have given them a new lease on life. We replaced a Rolls starting

A good quality lead/acid battery will self-discharge at the rate of 3 to 5 percent a month. So if you start with a fully charged start battery and have no load on it – like your bilge pump – you should be able to leave the boat for 5 or 6 months and still be confident about being able to start

Danny, If I were you I would certainly install solar. With your use you don’t need huge solar panel to top up your batteries. You should be ok with as little as 25-30 W of power (which would give you around 1 -1.5 A charging in normal circumstances). The rollable solar panels don’t
