Re: [A/S] Battery maintenance

>Jonathan, do you have the Charge Wizzard with your Intellipower?
I would really like to get into this.
My dual "dry" batteries I bought about 3 years ago and finally installed with
the intellipower and charge wizard last fall ? by Sims in Lubbock.. brought the
batteries up to full charge. I just went up last month and plugged the trailer
into shore power and after 48 hours, I was still getting a fast blink. after
another 24 powers, it was a slow blink which is supposed to be less than 50%
charge. at that point, my welcome on the shore power ran out so I had to
disconnect. We are thinking about going up, prepping the trailer and going over
to Ruidoso Downs in early October. I should think that I would get a full
charge on the batteries by the time that is over and I drain the trailer and
winterize it.
but tell me, how often are we supposed to charge these (mine are grey round
cylinders) gel or AGM batteries and for how long?
thanks
