Hi All,
The new charger goes in this week. We’ve had the good boat a year and a half and have always left the shore power on which meant the charger was on (wired that way). I’m wiring the charger through a circuit breaker and was thinking about whether or not I should continue to leave the charger on all the time. One 8D for the starter and 4 GC batteries for the house. I go to the boat once a week and stay over couple nights a month. The batteries are all wet cell. Never studied batteries enough to know if they get shortened life from always being on the charger.
Input and opinions?
