Which Onboard Charger?
Every time I go fishing and get home, I immediately hook up my charger to the two batteries that runs my trolling motor...which I always leave hooked up in parallel. The motor always keeps the cranking battery charged so I never need to charge it but if I ever do, charging with my portable wont be a problem.
My question is....I always charge the 2 batteries in parallel set on 2 amps with my portable charger and they are fully charged the next morning. So....if I decided to add an onboard charger how powerful of a charger would you guys recommend? Another question, with my current setup, with a lead hooked to the cranking battery and another lead hooked to the trolling batteries what happens when the cranking batt gets a full charge but more charging is still needed on the trolling batteries? Does all onboard chargers automatically switch to just maintaining the batteries (trickle charging) so you never need to unhook the charger before your next fishing trip? Thx.
