I noticed in one of the other posts that someone mentioned that Deep Cycle batteries need a Deep Cycle charger. How important is this and what does a Deep Cycle Charger run?<br /><br />------------------<br />Lately it occurs to me<br />What a long strange trip it's been...

It's not really a deep cycle charger from my under standing it's just a low trickle charger like 2or3 amp charger generaly runs about $60-120cdn.

Re: What Charger?

Most battery chargers have a switch to change from deep cycle to cranking batteries. Use the correct setting charge it on 2 amp and whenever possible run the battery completely dead before recharging. Tis will increase the life span of your battery. If you're like me you will probably figure none of that matters very much until you find yourself replacing a battery before it's gotten you through even 1 season.
