Great article on Extending Battery Life

Post by OverEasy »

Hi All

Came across a great article from Sail Magazine on extending, or at least preventing premature battery death

https://sailmagazine.com/diy/know-how-p ... ery-death/

Worth a read even if one is familiar with the subject.

It explains why in easy to understand format (much better than I could) why my technique of independently charging each battery separately has been so beneficial in gaining extended battery life both when we had a travel trailer and on our MacGregor.

Best Regards,
