Re: battery tender during storage
The same applies if they are 4x 6 volt...that would be 2x12 as the total bank would be in series parallel....clear as mud huh.

If this is a gasoline application, the unit needs to be ignition proof.

Re: battery tender during storage
As viper mentions, if you keep the batteries in the boat and have year round access to 120v, why not just power your regular charger?
If you pull them and take them home, just get one deltran single tender and do one battery at a time.

Re: battery tender during storage
This is my fix although not yet installed but probably the first project I will tackle as soon as the mother nature ends winter.
A separate charger independent of the boats electrical system with a standard plug in that accepts a standard 110v power cord which is what I assume you have in mind also.

Overkill? Maybe but like they say. "Do it right the first time or expect to do it again"

Re: battery tender during storage
Whatever let's you sleep at night I guess but technical reasons aside, I'm with Hans, it's just too much of a PITA to remove them anyway.
