Just charged up all of my boat batteries. Each battery took under a

Once a month is overkill in my experience. If the batteries are in
good condition, fully charged at winterization, and totally
disconnected from all loads, they will start right up in the spring.


You do it your way, I'll do it mine. It costs only a couple of pennies to
do it my way.


Thanks for the reminder. Mine has been sitting out in the shed for a couple
months.
I may bring it into the cool basement rather than the freezing shed.

Have your boy drag it in. Sit back with a cold beer and relax!
