Posts: 194 Location: Lake Elmo, MN | OK....I'm a chem engineer by education, not electrical, so my apologies here. If this winter, before storage, I throw the 2 main switches in the battery compartments of my 2008 Ranger 620 to "OFF", I effectively shut the battery off from any parasitic draws I'd guess.....right ? Well if I do this....will the batteries still charge ? I store indoors (unheated) but the manager of the place keeps my boat plugged in most of the winter. I have a 4 bank Ranger charger. I have not changed any wiring configurations on the boat from the factory and I am the first owner. I just spent about 1400 bucks on new Odyssey batteries (4 of them) this past spring and I want them in good condition for years. Thanks all for the help in advance.

Posts: 483 | on my charger (dual pro) there are wires from the charger to the different batteries that don't make use of the big wires ! so you should be good ! but make sure that charger can be left plugged_in all the time ( maybe contact ranger) . | ||

Posts: 194 Location: Lake Elmo, MN | Thanks....I leave it plugged in all the time in summer (at least for 3-5 days at a time, so no issue there I think. I just wanted to be certain current would be able to get by the breakers. | ||

Posts: 864 Location: NE Ohio | can you test at home first and see if there is still current going to the batt's after throwing the switch and still plugged in? | ||
