Batteries can discharge hazardous gases or present fire or explosion risks if these are overcharged or charged incorrectly. For these reasons, batteries should be charged in hoods when possible. Batteries typically contain highly corrosive electrolytes that users can be exposed … Continue reading →

While small and medium trolling motors use a single 12v marine battery, larger trolling motors use larger 24v and 36v systems, and require 2 or 3 marine batteries, accordingly. What size battery do I need for a 36 lb thrust … Continue reading →

Most solar battery banks use 12-volt deep cycle batteries, but it is still worth checking before you take a reading. If your battery reads 0 volts, there is a good chance it experienced a short circuit. If it cannot reach … Continue reading →

If the enclosure/box will be outside, then it will need to be insulated if temperatures approaching 0°F are a possibility at any point. Simple rigid foam insulation from a hardware store is adequate (flooded batteries generate some heat while charging, … Continue reading →

Although both the 18V and 36V have the same slide on design, the 36V’s are larger – longer to be more accurate. The chargers and tools are optimised for each battery voltage too so you can’t use a 36v battery … Continue reading →
