Thread: Got my new batteries at lunch

The BPS XPS chargers have a chip that tells them when the batteries are fully charged and the charger cuts back to maintenance mode. Every so often, it will kick on, check the voltage and cut back off on it's own. If the batteries register less than 100% charge, the charger will bring them to 100% and then cut back off.

In other words, you can leave it plugged up 24X7 for years at a time. I normally plug it in for a couple or 3 days and if I happen by and think about it, I'll unplug it. Then the day before, I'll plug it up again if I think about it. I only do this to save wear and tear on the charger and a little bit of electricity though. I have left mine plugged for a couple of weeks or more though.

Oh, and you're ugly and a gewber. Forgot to mention that in my original reply.

LOL, thanks man. I found a busted fuse that comes from the charger i think. Rain ran me off so I didn't have time to see just where it came from. 20 amp though, so it must be

dd, we keep ours plugged in 24/7, keeps batteries maintained. oh, yes, also the other thing that wb said.

Bite me DUck, no seriously, BITE ME lol Wannabe, where's the rest of your SUpper pics. He sent me what looked like Baked tater pics last night via pic text and I never got the rest of 'em

I plug my onboard charger in when I unhook the boat from my truck....I don't ever unplug it untill I hook up to the truck again.

I guess I'll have to put my cranking battery on my portable charger and use more extension cord when I get home from now on. I need a new one there but it'll do for now
