Trickle Charger In Summer?

[Aondion]

Few of the guys that dock their boat near our suggested putting a trickle charger on our boat when not in use during the summer. Question, if I hook the trickle charger up to battery #1, will it charge both batteries? Or do I need to have a trickle charger on both batteries? Thanks

I would suggest 2-bank marine smart charger. Its designed to be mounted on the boat, used year round and will charge both banks independently.

Thanks for the reply. Do you leave the battery position on 1 & 2 while charging?

My charger has separate leads to both batteries. My switch is generally in the off
position when charging.

Switch will want to be off. This not only isolates the boat from the batteries but also isolates each bank from the other so the charger can do its thing best.
