Getting ready for our 1st boondock weekend
I have 2 new Wally world marine "deep cycle" with about 80 amp hour reserve. I expect running a few lights, tv and a box fan for sleeping, I'll get them down to 12.0 to 12.2 volts overnight. I'd like...

WFCO notoriously charges at 13.6 trickle volts instead of the claimed 14.4 boost voltage. 3 to 6+ hours to get close to 90% charged. Bring your voltmeter to verify what is actually happening. Couple hours in the morning, again at noon for an hour and then a couple hours into the evening might serve better than an extended morning charge.
Any chance you have a portable 10+ amp charger to bring along? Or borrow one?
Just put it direct on the battery and get it started. Then plug in the main cord to get some from the WFCO too. No need to disconnect anything.
If voltage does steadily climb to 14.2+ volts on the battery... continue one more hour and call it done.
Post a trip report ;)
