2010 charger
My 2010Precedent sits for 2 to 3 weeks sometimes before use. It takes 3hrs to charge,but was fully charged when I put it up. Is this normal? Can I leave the charger plugged in all the time? Batteries are2012 and test good.

Some discharge like that is normal. If you are only leaving it 2 - 3 weeks it should be ok to just fully charge it before leaving and then charge it before using it when you get back.

Re: 2010 charger
When we had our Florida home we would leave the cart unattended not connected to the charger for 2 to 3 months. When we returned we always had plenty of power left.

Re: 2010 charger
I have a friend with a winter home in Phoenix (a lot hotter I know) who would leave his cart unplugged for about 4 mos. at a time in his garage - and managed to kill his pack in just two years. As far as I know they weren't dry - they just got baked and self-discharged a lot.
Admittedly they were the (CC's worst-idea-ever) 12v batteries in a Precedent, but I personally think 3 mos. (if it stays fairly hot) is a bit too long to be without a maintenance charge of some sort. |

This was in Hillsborough Co Fl. Didn't know it until my son told me but it has never been over 100 degrees there. Due to the gulf breeze.
