Can someone help me with this question ?
I want to use a top notch high amp capacity battery charger for my trolling motor.
A marine battery weighs upwards of 80 lb. Add that weight along with my 240 lbs. the 55 lb thrust trolling motor weighs 24 lbs and my stealth 14 weighs 70 lbs. Heavy load. Also I'm tired of lugging that damn battery from the street across the sand and to the kayak. A charger weighs in at 20-22 lbs.
I troll for 5 minutes at a time at half or quarter power and on occasion on the way into shore maybe 15-20 minutes, I'm 67 and I get a little tired after paddling for 4-5 hours and would only use the motor at full throttle coming home to shore
So.... Can I use a charger as a power source ?
Thank you all for your help
