Since I've winterized the boat, I have the batteries in the basement and plug them into a Battery Tender Jr. once a month to keep them at full charge.
I knew you you didn't I just wanted to clarify about the Deka's I guess. You know I do real decent at keeping them charged with the on board charger but I don not keep them plugged in all the time I don't trust that for some reason. I cooked a set with an on board a long time ago and haven't trusted one since. I keep the boat in a unheated garage that never gets super cold but I have probably neglected them a time or two.

I do try and charge them immediately when I get home from fishing though. Man I hear ya on not getting to fish as much I have fished less this year than any year in the last ten..............Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
