Expert Answers about Battery Charger

• Does the Precision Tool 2.5 Watt Solar Charger Work on 6v Batteries
• I have a solution for you to keep the 6v battery charger on your tractor maintained, but the # PTW2997 is only designed for 12v batteries. However, you can use the Duracell Battery Charger and Maintainer # DU27FR to keep the battery charged and it would do a great job. This charger uses automatic multi-stage charging to extend battery life, so you'll never have to worry about over-charging. We do not currently offer a solar setup capable of charging a 6v battery.

• Battery Charger Needed to Power the Bulldog Winch Utility Winch # BDW15008
• We do have AC - DC chargers but the Tekonsha Two Stage 12 V DC Battery Charger # 2024-07 that you referenced is for DC - DC charging. To charge a bigger 650 CCA battery to operate the Bulldog Winch Utility Winch # BDW15008 you will need to use a charger like the CTEK MULTI US 7002 # CTEK56353. This plugs into AC and converts it to DC for the battery plus it will maintain your battery. You can leave it plugged up and not have to worry about your battery being overcharged.

• For your Toyota RAV4 and charging 12V car batteries I recommend the NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger - AC to DC - 6V/12V - 10 Amp item # 329-GENIUS10.

• Parts Needed to Charger Lithium Batteries on Trailer While Traveling
• There is a way to accomplish what you are needing to do. But the 7-way isn't going to play a role in charging your battery and doesn't care if the battery is lithium or not. The hot wire coming from your 7-way would only ever be enough to trickle charge your battery. If you are wanting to charge your battery while under way you will need a DC-DC charger like the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D. You would also want a battery isolator like the Redarc Smart Start Battery...

• Recommended Battery Charging Solution for 4 Snowmobiles In Trailer
• To answer your first question, not exactly; your 7 way trailer plug will have a 12v feed but it is only suitable for maintaining the trailer's battery and not actually providing a full charge. When it comes to charging the sleds, you're not going to want to directly charge them from the trailer battery and you will want to use a battery charger that is powered by the trailer battery. However there are two issues with this that will need to be taken into consideration. First, in order...

• How to Charge the Batteries on a Trailer While Underway
• You are correct that the power coming from your vehicles battery while traveling is only going to provide a maintenance charge to your batteries on your trailer. It will not charge a dead battery and it will not keep the trailers batteries charged if they are being used while underway. Using wiring and a solenoid like the # PK5231201 that you mentioned will provide a good maintenance charge while you're driving but that is about it. In order to charge and maintain a full charge you will...

• CTEK Battery Charger for Re-Charging Two 12V Trailer Batteries
• While you can wire two batteries' outputs in parallel when you're using them, when charging batteries it is always best to do each one individually. Shore-power chargers like the CTEK # CTEK56353 are the only way to fully re-charge a depleted battery. The +12V power circuit in your 7-way trailer wiring can deliver a worthwhile maintenance-level charge to the fully-charged batteries on your trailer to keep them topped off but that circuit simply doesn't have the current required to re-charge...

• On Board Converter To Use with AGM Batteries
• I recommend looking at the Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # 34266912 which has a maximum output of 14.4v and is designed to work with AGM batteries. This is the most powerful converter and smart battery charger we have and it is rated much higher than the 13.6v max on the Progressive Dynamics 9100 series converters like the # PD9130. Per the instructions (included) you will need to remove your existing converter, as it is not designed to work on conjunction with that system.
