Default Tis the season

Justin sez..

"I don't recommend putting your battery away by the engine's
Â*alternator. What good would that do? Better to disconnect a
Â*battery lead and check the charge every month or so. A dead
Â*battery might freeze and crack."


We were talking about the 5 month boating season.
For the seven months off season, I have the boat battery in the basement where I run a 12 v LED clearance light off it and once or maybe twice a month I'll hook up the battery charger to it set at 2 A charging rate.
