I'm guessing you didn't buy that at Wal Mart.

Scout needs to maintain 2 group 27 batteries over the
winter.

For that alone, his MC trickle chargers will do the job. he
also will need to charge them between sailings once he gets
his sails on next decade or two.

Scotty,
My engine or my onboard charger (when on shore power) can each charge the
batteries from April to November. I'll keep them in my basement over the
winter though, so I'm thinking of that scenario. Optima seems pretty adamant
about not exceeding 13.8 volts or 1 amp. Otherwise I would have just thrown
the MC charger on them.
