I'm sure its been covered so please bear with me-
I just installed a MINN KOTA MK220 ON BOARD BATTERY CHARGER - Should I just leave it plugged in 27/7 ?
Reason i'm asking is i had a little minn kota 5amp & i assume it ruined two batteries - first all the lights burned out but i was assumeing it still work correctly but something sure went wrong! Just replaced the batteries so i don't want that happening again---
I'd sure appreciated experienced advice.

Absolutely not should you leave it connected 27x7. But 24x7 would be ok. According to minnkota specs the float charge rate is only 100 - 300 ma.

I guess 24/7 WOULD make more sense :redface:
Thanks- I'll just leave it hooked up & not worry about--
