[QUOTE="OldSailor85, post: 517873, member: 36164"] I'll assume your batteries are flooded lead acid. A "good" charger can be left on and hooked up all the time. A cheap charger can overcharge your battery and/or cause you to loose water in the cells. Look for a battery charger that is also a "maintainer". FWIW - I don't have my boat on the charger all the time. I do, however, have my wife's car and my tractor on charge all the time. No problems. Using Schauer Maintainers. LiPO4, AGM, etc. require special chargers and charging conditions. [/QUOTE]
