    Default Cold Temps & Baterry Question ?


    Was wondering if this is true. Batteries do better in warm temps so I plugged my trickle charger on my boat in. Will this help? what are your thoughts.
    Thanks,

    I store mine outside, and last winter left the batteries plugged in all winter. did not seem to hurt anything at all (as far as I know).

    Mine is plugged in as we speak. This is my first boat. Bought it from MDuncan on CDC... has an onboard charger, he said just leave it plugged in, so that's what I'm doin! Sounds like that's what most do - I think that is the purpose of those on board chargers - when you are using the boat, they charge stuff up by simply pluggin it in...then when stuff is charged, it just trickles... hopefully that's right :D

    I have a lot to learn about owning/operating a boat...:o

    You could not have found a better place to learn that stuff. LOT'S of folks on here know tons about boats (not me) and I'm sure they will answer your questions.

    Thanks. I heard 2 sides before. sounds like it won't hurt to leave them plugged in.
