The sooner you recharge, the better for the life of the battery. I put mine on as soon as I get home. I have one of the portable 110 minn-kota chargers and I am very happy with it. Thinking of buying a second one.

Batteries need to be charged immediately after use. They can be charged at a rate that is up to 20% of the amp/hour rating. That means a 10 amp setting or so is fine.
