    Default Battery charger


    I have a 12v 6 amp automatic charger. Can I leave it hooked up after battery is charged ?

    You can if if has a maintenance feature like the digital chargers do. I charge mine fully and unplug it. I top them off every now and then, or the day before I go fishing. I don’t like leaving mine on.

    My MinnKota 345 and 230 are left plugged up from the time the boat is backed into the garage until it leaves again.

    The digital Minn Kota’s have the maintainer built in them. If they short out internally they can create a fire. I charge and unplug in a night or two.

    I wouldn't mind if that happened. I'm insured.
