Question
sparkyaber
I bought my first boat this last year and have just finished winterizing it.
I want to keep the batteries charged all winter so I bought them inside the house and am looking for a good charger/tender to keep them up to snuff.
I have one starting battery and two deep cycles to keep charged. I put them all in parallel (is it ok to put a cranking battery and deep cycle batteries in parallel to charge them?) and want to put a charger on them and just "walk away" not having to mess with them until spring. I do have a very small (1.5 amp charger/tender) that I use for my motorcycle/atv batteries.
Now is this little charger good enough to support these three big batteries or do I need to look into something different?
Does anyone have any thoughts on brand and size? I do have a regular sized charger so I don't need that feature.
I had a vector and it died after two winters of tending my motorcycle battery. The brand of the little tender I have now is schumacher 1.5 amp slow charger.
Also let me know how you store your batteries, Hey I might have it all wrong.
thanks
