Did you know a float/trickle charger can KILL your battery?

[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 410661, member: 15636"] I think what you two might be doing is fine ... it probably is the person who connects a battery to a trickle charger and leaves it there all Winter that might burn the battery out. Personally, and it has worked for me for 40+ years of boating, I give a full charge in Spring and Fall. Also keep the battery clean, as they can discharge without anything connected, just by an accumulation of dirt and crap (which holds condensation that completes the circuit in certain ambient conditions) on the top of the case. When one tops off batteries with distilled water, wait 2-3 days to be fully converted into acid before charging ... [/QUOTE]
