[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3568369, member: 24531"] Yeah I was aware of that, but the batteries must be the same and in the same condition. I've read that it is common for batteries wired this way to fail prematurely unless you buy them the same time and are same model, etc. I sort of like the idea of running one down and then starting fresh anyway, but if the parallel thing would give longer run time, how would that compare to running each battery out separately? Yeah I have a few of those tying around too but the boat is kept outside and I like just being able to use the onboard. Also, the onboard is more sophisticated and temp adjusted, etc. than a cheap battery maintainer. I'd probably just add another single bank onboard marine charger if I had to. So how do you charge the starter batteries? [/QUOTE]
