[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 345389, member: 12925"] I have both TM batteries mounted in boxes with lids under the front deck. I have a Dual Pro 2 bank charger mounted on the rod box that extends under the deck and the port side battery sits right next to it. I keep it plugged in when the batteries are in the boat, it is not a sealed compartment so they can vent to the air. I have used it like that going on 12 years with zero issues. [b]Main thing is to make sure they are vented in some way to let gases excape, so when the charger cycles it doesn't explode.[/b] I have been using a regular charger for the starting battery. This year I am going to upgrade to a single bank charger for it, so all I have to do is plug them both in. No more having to connect the charger everytime I get back. [/QUOTE]
