    Question Charging batteries when it really ho outside?

    When it gets extremely hot outside is it best to keep charger plugged in or unplug?

    Chargers are temperature compensated.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Just took my boat out after a month of work. Unplugged noticed extension cord was melted

    Too small gauge cord or heat ?
