OB charging

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

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
