Battery Charging Question?

Post by ACRon »

Getting ready to switch where I store my boat indoors. They want to leave it on the on board charger all the time. In the past I only charged it after each trip and once a month if sitting idle. I have AGM batteries. 2 for trolling and 1 for big motor.

Is this a good idea?

Depends on your charger.Alot of newer on board chargers will charge ,then when batteries are good,will then drop into a maintenance state,where charger will only come on if a battery or batteries state of charge drops below a certain level,charger will kick on till battery is up again.I'd look at manual,or get a hold of manufacturer/vendor if not sure.
