Default Re: Best Batteries to get and from where?

nope, no maintainer. I think I am going to stick with the 4 12V as I am just not that comfortable messing with electrical.. I had issues adding in a rocker switch and 2 speakers on the RZR last night.. and had issues with wiring the darn meter on the golf cart as it is still not keyed so stays on all the time..

Lol. Yeah, I struggle with some things as well. That's why we have different folks with different talents. I really stink at building with wood.

If You can charge the batteries before leaving the camp or just plug in the regular charger before leaving, it will be fine for two weeks without charging again.

Leaving the batteries on a discharged state for an extended period of time (over 2 days) is not good for the batteries long term health.

The problem I have is even with a week between I have to unplug and restart the charger when I get to the ranch. Now it may only run a few minutes but my pack charge will drop a couple volts over a week. Thus I use a Save a battery unit.

That is true, I modified my PowerDrive 3 so I could use a timer to start a charge cycle whenever I wanted:

While Your batteries will loose capacity due to self-discharge, the BCI recommendation for a refresh charge is once a month since self-discharge does not cause the same effects on a battery as being discharged due to use.

You better get them. That's the best price I've seen yet.
If I could find them that cheap, I'd but a set for myself now.
