I've been told its better to not keep your charger turned on when not using your boat and it sits in your slip. A mechanic told me for our size boat (370 DA) that our battery bank would more than keep a charge and to only turn on the charger when you think the batteries are getting somewhat depleted from not starting the engines, running DC, etc,.
What was happening was I was keeping the charger on whenever we were in the slip and I believe I was frying the batteries. The water level in each was down a few quarts over the course of 2-3 months.
Just curious as to what others are doing.
Thanks
