UPGRADED DuraVolt Blue Trolling Motor Charger - 24 Volt Solar Charger - 60Watt 24V 2A - Plug & Play - for Boats

I installed this on my boat after talking with the Duravolt rep to receive a military discount which was very nice! I questioned adding a solar charge controller to prevent over charging on time when I would not be able to utilize my boat for a long time. I was told I would not need one since the system is self regulating however, being an electrician that has installed many solar voltaic systems I added it for my own precautionary measures and to prevent damaging my 24 volt system. I installed the PowerEZ 10Amp PWM solar charge controller with USB ports. The install went perfect and the twin 12 volt batteries are charging at a very slow trickle that takes about 3 days from 50%. Highly recommended just wish they made a 100 watt marine system for faster charging.

Great purchase, amazing customer service, and very professional.After much reserch, reading reviews, and talking to other customers. i decided to purchace for my pontoon boat. I live in a lake community where only electric motors are allowed. I do not have direct access to electricity to keep the 24v battery system charged. Once I received, I installed a frame around the panel (not needed by the way) so i could mount it suspended from the back of the boat. Ah ha..... problem solved. It maintains the batteries very well. I am very pleased and have been telling everyone around where to get one.

I had great experience with this panels! This panel was instrumental at conditioning both my trolling motor batteries, and my starting batteries! After charging my main engine batteries, my kicker motor would sustain a much better voltage of 13.6 volts. Before was only 12.2.My trolling batteries were much stronger for longer durations.Use care when you are operating your boat, the wind got mine and it doesn't float. There are fish in Shasta enjoying mine right now........Last it down, and keep the wind from Buffeting it.

I am thrilled with this product. It is quite robust right out of the box and would be excellent without anything else if mounting on a flat surface. My application mounting to the back wall of my pontoon boat at the correct angle required fabrication of a bracket which I made out of scrap sheet metal. The battery was at somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 charged per the trolling motor LED indicator. When I checked it two days later it was already fully charged. No more lugging two heavy batteries to the house to recharge and be unable to take the boat out to fish while charging. Wish I would have done this years earlier.

Simple to hook up and keeps our pontoon batteries fully charged. (Even on cloudy days!)

The panel is well built, light weight and portable. Perfect for use on my dock. I have mounted it on plywood with a handle as you can see in the attached photos. And talk about customer service. I bought this on a Sunday and sent a question to the seller, ITC Solar. I got a response within 10 minutes from Rich at ITC who answered my question and gave helpful advice. This is the first time I have ever sent a written review on any purchase but I thought this one deserved it.

Good quality! Awesome service.Thought I would share with you what I am going to do with keeping the solar panel protected and portable. I plan to lay it down on my board's swim deck when I store my boat then tie the panel to my ski rope mount when boating or on the water if we stay overnight. Regardless, I will be able to keep it plugged in all the time even when towing the boat down the highway to whatever destination. Should keep my 24 volt system charged in a reasonable amount of time. Update 1/16/18: It takes longer to charge my 24 volt system than I initially expected. Anytime your batteries are below 50% you will need full sun and numerous days to get them charged. It will not provide a quick turn around charging. Update 4/21/18: I have found that over time this little solar panel has kept up with the frequency we use our trolling motor. It is not meant to charge your battery to a full charge of it was run down below 25%. It will charge it up but over a course of 1-2 weeks. As mentioned earlier, it will recharge your 50% batteries back to 100% within a week of you have sunny skies. System has worked well for us.👍

I bought the 24v 35watt to charge my trolling motor batteries. I have the boat docked and fish on the weekend. No more taking the batteries out of the boat. I just let it do its job through the week and have fully charged batteries for the weekend. Customer service is fantastic. You can text or call and they get back with you very fast. Excellent service.
