Here's a concise and handy guideline that was included in the
installation manual for my new Victron charger:



Do you ever stop thinking about boats and boating Chuck? There is, after
all, more to life than that.

Of course there is.
And when I'm not involved with either working or recreating, there's no
reason to think about boats.




What are you going to post next..........guidelines included in the
installation manual for your head?

Probably not.

I thought these might be useful as they will apply to a wide variety of
chargers, not just the unit I recently installed.

As far as "Omigawd, Gould is posting more boating related material on
the rec.boats site!"
Guilty. I am under the confused and misguided impression that boat
stuff is why the site exists. :-)

Have you any tips or observations to add to the topic "Troubleshooting
a battery charger"?

Here's a question: Which is better for maintaining the battery over the
winter, infrequent charges on the 10 amp setting or more frequent and
longer charges on the 2 amp setting. I've been using the 2 amp and leaving
it on overnight. It's an automatic charger, so it stops charging when the
battery is charged.
