My advice to any boater, is to NOT use the automotive style that is notorious for boiling out the fluid, and to get something like the Truecharge, which is using a chip and takes the battery through numerous stages, hardwired and turned on all the time.  Fantastic results for me, and I would hope for anyone else too.  HEre is a link with a photo and some of the benefits, features, and specs on the model I used.  This is just one choice, as there are others now that do essentially the same thing, not inexpensive, but worth every penny. http://www.network54.com/Forum/424840/message/1127389120 After installing one of these to maintain three battery banks, my batteries lasted many years longer and they were always hot to take off and run. regards, Paul __________________ 1973 23' Lancer Inboard, 427 power 1966 38 Commander Express, 427 power 1966 20' fiberglass Sea Skiff 1956 17' CC Sportsman http://www.chriscraftcommander.com Back to Top
