Just charged up all of my boat batteries. Each battery took under a
minute to get to "FUL" on the charger. This is something to do once a
month, unless you have one of those reliable, low output, always
connected chargers.

I'll probably do that tomorrow... too...



By the way Harry, just because your charger (I assume it's a Vector smart
charger) reads "FUL" after a minute of occasional charging during storage,
doesn't mean it is. It's simply responding to the voltage surface charge.
Ideally, the battery should be drawn down a bit before charging, allowing
the Vector to go through it's full bulk, absorption and float stages.
