    Default Battery Charging


    Is it ok to leave your trolling motor wiring, your electronic fish finder, and your engine starter wiring hooked to the batteries while you are charging them? I would like to so I can not always be taking everything off and on, but didn't know if this would short the wiring or mess up the batteries or the charger.

    Thanks.

    I think MK recommends unplugging their powerdrive models prior to charging...cause power stays on the control board all the time May not ever be a problem, but only takes a second to unplug it....

    I unplug my TM, remove my DF/FFs and I have a cut off switch on my starter battery.
    It probably does not do much, but I can guarantee that my TM and/or my DF/FF will not be harmed by a run away battery charger.
    If I am going to error I plan to do so on the side of caution.
