    What size charger?

    Just purchased a Lynac 42ah Lithium as dedicated battery for Livescope and Graph. What size charger would you recommend 10a or 5a? Would either be more safe or affect longevity of battery?

    For that size, 5 minimum and 20 max. Not higher. the 5 would charge it in less than 8 hours.

    Either one will work, your choice should be by how much time do you have for charging before you head out to fish again. If you're a recreational angler the 5 amp will be fine, but if you fish multi-day tournaments, then you'd want the 10 amp. It just charges much faster. Personally, I prefer 15 amp/bank chargers.
