[QUOTE="one day, post: 239016, member: 4525"] This my first winter with a float charger. It goes off when the battery is fully topped off. The battery is supposed to keep a long time in this state because sulfation does not occur. Take the battery out in the fall, top off the electrolyte and set it and forget it. . .until I notice the next week that the levels have dropped a lot. The plates in one cell were just starting to show. SO, that made me think I would stay away from trickle chargers all together and I would only use a float charger periodically and right before spring. [/QUOTE]
