Default Charging question

I leave my cart at the hunting club, that's all it is used for. When i get there say on a friday night i have to charge and it usually is still charging when I get up the next morning to go hunt. My question is, is there a trickle charger that can be put on it that keeps it charged while it just sits there all week?

Yes. These may seem a little costly at first. But they will keep your batteries in great shape. You should get a full 5 years or more of use from your batteries using a quality charger. Using a cheap charger......well......:thum bdown:

I dunno. For some reason.....there's a weird space in there. Goblins? I thought goblins came out in October?

I leave a cart at a lake. I charge it fully the night before I leave the lake and it is ready to go the next time I arrive. I can leave it for many weeks and it loses very little voltage. I make sure the tow/run switch is set for tow before I leave it. I do not have electricity in the area I leave the cart at a marina parking lot with about 40 other carts. I charge the cart where I park it near my boat. One thought I had was to buy a solar charger and put it on the roof to keep my batts topped off but I found that I didn't need that.

Your best bet might be the charger mentioned above with a maintenance function. I have a similar one on my houseboat that maintains the batts. The house battery on the boat is 8 years old and works like new and seldom needs any water.

The cheapest route would be to buy a simple timed plug. Plug your charger into the timed plug that is plugged into the socket. Set it up to come on once a day for an hour or less. Then they stay topped off and you aren't out $300, just like $30 for the timer. And I'll tell you this, I sell those chargers linked about as well......so if you get my drift
