Hi Geo,
Many motors have charging units built in but I think all with electric
strart outboards will charge your while running battery.
You can get a 12 volt marine cranking or starting battery.
If you are not running any electronics, you can even use a smaller battery
like for a jet ski.

Hi,
I recently bought a 1998 2 stroke electric start 25 hp Johnson. I do
not know if it has an alternator or if I have to charge the battery
after use like an electric motor. I have not used it yet, only started
it. Someone please help me with this lame question :-) Oh and one
more. Should I use a deep cycle battery or will a regular auto battery
work just as well?
Thanks,
GeoW
