[QUOTE="SlimeTime, post: 49843, member: 651"] "While you stop at the coffee shop in the morning to get a good cup of hot coffee the batteries are still charging and they keep on being charged because it does not matter if you driving or ideling your truck's alternator is charging the betteries at the same rate (Amps)." Funny, every time I've jump-started a vehicle, I rev the motor & the amp gauge climbs...... Go to the parts store, get a continuous use solenoid (like on a golf-cart) for your boat batteries, that way it's only drawing power when the key is on & motor running......same thing the guy in the link is doing. :wink: ST PS- Unrelated, but I run a Ford Solenoid mounted on my Chevy trucks inner fender. I run hedders and Chevys are notorious for heat-sink in the solenoid.....mine's never failed me. [/QUOTE]
