Charging Question

[pikefisherman]

When is it time to recharge a deep cycle battery? I just use it for troling motor and fish graph, not starting.
I have a digital meter to check it with.

Re: Charging Question

The time to recharge a battery is whenever it isn't fully charged. Battery life is related to battery care. Better care means longer life.

Charge it right after you finish using it for the day.

Re: Charging Question

You DO NOT wait for a specific voltage. When done for the day, charge it.

Yes, you will prolong the battery's life by recharging immediately after every use.

Re: Charging Question

Running it all the way down is the worst thing you can do. Never discharge it beyond 12.0V which is around 50% discharge
