OB charging

Post by Namibiafrank » 25 Feb 2018, 17:36

:help just a quick question
Do you charge your 7ah battery from the OB, if so is it OK to leave it charging whenever I am out?
I have two, one for running fishfinder compass and one for charging the rest, can I charge from the OB while using?
Thanks
Frank

You're in luck,
The Honda BF20 has a high output charging coil making 12-Amp (151 watt) of electricity.
That's more than enough to run your electronics and keep the battery topped up :thumbsup

yes just leave it charging the regulator will sort it out just the same as your car, that leaves you with a full battery if you stop the engine to fish you could link the two batteries in parallel if you wanted to charge at the same time, personally i run one Gel battery 20 amp hour
