Battery Shut off and Storage Question.
Hi everyone.
I store my trailer in the drive way. Therefor I can leave it hooked up to shore power 24/7. I have two 6v in series. I just got them yesterday and want to make the most of them.
Should I simply leave the trailer plugged in 24/7 keeping the batteries topped off. This will keep all the 12v stuff on when not needed such as circuit boards gas detector blue light on the radio etc.. It will also keep my trailers charger/converter thing running as well. Is there any downfall or undue wear here?
The other thought is to disconnect the trailer from shore power and shut the batteries off. Once a week or so plug in the trailer and turn the batteries on for a day to top off the batteries from their normal battery discharging that happens even when they are not in use.
What ya all think?
