Hi all. I wanted to ask those with more experience than I about battery chargers. I am thinking about putting an onboard charger in my boat and want to know...

(1) Do you just leave it plugged in when you are not fishing? How about for extended periods between fishing trips (like winter up here in Indiana)?

(2) If i have two batteries, what are the pros and cons of a two bank system, with one bank for each battery, or a single bank with one lead for each battery?


Thanks for all your advice in advance.
