[QUOTE="Family_Dog, post: 914405, member: 82"] These are permanently connected to a Benton BX-5 charger, a 9-step fully automatic charger rated at 25A. The charge is of a pulsing nature (as so it should be for batteries that are in a fixed mounting location) which assists in preventing sulphation of the plates. As the batteries reach full charge, the charging rate tapers off to a virtual trickle charger, thus cannot over-charge the batteries. No problem with reaching full charge in under a day and as the batteries are sealed, there is no smell either. I forgot to add that all the items mentioned in my previous post were on for the full duration of the L/shedding. This gives me time to use DSTV Catch-Up as well and the time paasses relatively quickly while doing so :) -F_D [/QUOTE]
