    Charged my batteries yesterday and today

    Don't have much to say, so I'll let everyone know that I charged my batteries yesterday and today. They are both sitting at 100%, waiting to be used.

        Speaking of charging batteries. Do you guys disconnect everything from the batteries when you charge them? I remember the manual saying to do that. I have a toggle switch where i can make the power draw from battery 1, battery 2, both, or none. So, could I just switch that toggle to the "off" position and charge the batteries?

          I would still disconnect them all. My boat was wired in such a way that the perko switch just selected which battery would start the engine, all the other electrical equipment would still work.

                Dom, I have a 21 ir as well. Where did oyu put all of those batteries? I am going to add 2 additional before spring. I am still not sure where I am going to put the third one.

                      I forgot about my switch, and left it in the "all" position when I charged the first battery, then switched it to off for the 2nd battery. I also thought about disconnecting everything (amps, bilge, starter, etc...) but didn't do that. I hope everything is ok.

                      I do have a really cool charger, it will charge your battery to 100%, where most only go to 80%, and it will also jump start your car if you need a jump.

                        Yesterday would have been a great day to take the boat out here in Denver (with a drysuit of course), too bad that nice weather is gone!

                          I thought about it more then once. (That's probably why I decided to charge the batteries.) Too bad it was only 45 today, and we are back to winter for another few months.

                            He's only got about 1500 lbs of lead and copper in that boat...no need for ballast....'cept for maybe Alvie to move around for surfing.
