Charging ?
Is it okay to charge my trailer battery with a plain old car battery charger? I've never messed with a deep cycle battery before... Thanks.

When one of my chargers acheives 100% charged in HALF the time as yours then you really ought to take another look. The key is saturated charging. And pnichols is on the right track.
One of my chargers analyzes the bulk stage and calculates a time for the Abs stage in a range of 1 to 12 hours. It also calculates the appropriate Abs Voltage based on battery temperature. 14.4 Volts is not always calculated and neither is 4 hours Abs.
What exactly is 'saturated' charging and why is that optimal in all circumstances?
Why is 14.4V and 4 hours better; better than what?
Will YOU take a look at this?
