    Default Charging question


    Can I run the 12v pump in my bait well while I am charging my batteries?
    Will this cause any damage to the pump, charger or batteries?

    No problem. It won't hurt a thing.

    It most likly won't hurt a thang but if the pump draws more amps than the charger is putting into the battery you may not be getting as full a charge as you would want in your battery!

    Won't hurt anything...12v is 12v....just take longer to charge batteries...I've run pumps off of just charger before--but wouldn't reccomend that!!.....to lazy to find another battery LOL.. :D ..now if you hook trickle charger to battery then pump to battery; you can do that virtually forever.. :D

    Going to get a good deal on minnows from my local bait shop to take with me to KY Lake. I can only hope I will use a bunch of 'em. :D
