My question is, if I have the charger set at 2 amps, how long is it
okay for me to leave the charger on? *My boat is in a garage at a
location that I usually only get to about once a week or so. *Is it
okay if the charger is left on at the 2-amp setting for say, a week?
No. Not unless the charger shuts down automatically when the battery is
charged, and then, not unless you have tested that feature.
Will wonders never cease. Harry actually answered a boating question
correctly.
That's because he's seen that answer here before! Mechanical engineer
my ass!
