Best Answer

The same way you charge a car battery. The only difference in them is that the marine battery is a deep cycle battery, meaning it is designed to be run completely down without damaging the battery. Ideally you need a charger designed to charge deep cycle batteries but you can charge one with a normal battery charger.

I have 2 X12 volt batteries in my boat. One battery has a label on it saying - not a suitable battery for cycling applications. What does this mean?

Battery cycling is a process in which a battery's charge is entirely or nearly depleted, recharged, and the process is repeated. In your case, the battery is not designed to do this for safety reasons, presumably battery explosion. As long as the battery is constantly being recharged by the alternator of your boat's engine and not cycled, you have nothing to worry about, aside from standard precautions and preventive maintenance.

Can you charge an auto battery on a concrete floor?

Yes and also you can charge it on a wooden bench, a lawn chair, a flower pot, and a tub along as it isn't full of water.. or if you want to get adventurous you can charge it on a mountain, on a dead goat body, in an airplane, on a boat (along as it isn't sinking), or in your hands aslong as its hooked up to a charger and not in a conductive liquid you can charge an auto battery anywhere. Placement will not affect its charging capabilities unless the battery is dead which is caused by the metal plated in the battery acid being corroded which is unavoidable. It is an old wives tale that concrete kills a battery.
