To charge cranking battery or not to charge cranking battery

[BigJfrank]

OK, I'm getting a 3 bank, thanks guys

It will cost more, but a 10 amp per battery or more is needed to properly charge all of the batteries.

If it sits for more than a week or 10 days I charge it.

Yea, gonna order a 3 bank, 10 amp per bank charger

Great choice!!!

Wise choice...but I will emphasize a little more......with only a 2 bank charger you are charging only the troller batts...What most don't realize, with the advent of the dfi engines with ecu's,ecms.emms....they constantly are drawing a little current....not to mention those wonderful gps/graphs whose antennae are constantly searching....yes even when the power is off the antennae are searching....you guessed it....drawing current......then when you go to the lake......dead as a hammer.....JMHO

If it's a battery....charge it.

My boat came with 3 bank for TM batteries, I went an bought a stand alone charger for my cranking battery. I always have and always will charge ALL batteries.

How is this even a debate?

In my book it's not even a question
