Should I use the 2A or 6A setting on the battery charger when charing
a marine battery? Whats the difference (besides 4 amps....L)?


From my understanding, a "trickle" charge is preferred over a higher
Amperage charge, if time permits. The slower the electrons (?) bond to
the plates (?) the better they pack. Plus, gasses and plate buckling
are kept to a minimum.

Hey, I know this isn't technical, but it's like trying to roast a
Turkey in half the time at twice the heat. But.... 6 Amps is hardly
considered a big charge current.
