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.

Good. If you store it in the driveway during the season, it would be good to put a trickle charger
on it. These are some great little chargers, and they'll keep even the big batteries charged:

The ring harness can be attached to the battery and left there for very easy connect and disconnect.

Had something similar to those set ups with the Princecraft Yukon 15 that I bought from Captain Tom way back in 2007.

Must have worked. I don't recall any comments about dead batteries back then!
