Location: Stevens Point, WI | Yep, that's correct. I gauge my charging on how I fish and the weather I see. If I'm fishing in winds 10-30mph or whatever for more than 8 hours, the charger goes on. Or, like today, fished for 4-6 hours total, but with almost no wind. I won't put the charger on.
I've been charging my batteries this way for years and have had very good success. I ran a 2001 Alumacraft till 2007, that boat saw one set a batteries and they were still going strong when I sold the boat.
My suggestion, get the biggest batteries you can, and you'll be good. Been running 31 Blue Top Optima's for about a year now and I'm extremely happy, longest run time I've ever seen with batteries! |
