I have a few questions on Battery Charging.
Do I need to disconnect my boat batteries before charging ? For example disconnect from all accessories, Motor , etc. Or can I charge with all of those items still connected.
Do those of you that use Battery Tenders, leave all accessories connected (Above) as well as your Battery Tender, and then simply plug in the Tender/Charger , when your boat is not in use.
For many years I have disconnected everything from my two batteries, then connected a charger to the batteries until I was ready to go out. Then remove the Charger and put it away, and reconnect everything.... Is this really Necessary ?
thoughts ?
