I am a new owner of older boat (2 months). I keep it at the dock with shore power provided. The house batteries - 6 golf cart batteries - were almost dead so I had brand new installed. Starting batteries are OK. There is Xantrex inverter/charger, generator and all usual equipment.
After each use I fully charge all the batteries and then boat waits for another trip; few days, a week or maybe two (never longer so far).
Should I keep the batteries permanently on charge (floating charge I understand) or, once fully charged, I should let them idle while waiting for another trip?
If one way is better then the other then why?
Thank you.
