Keeping batteries charged

[newbury]

I only use my trailer once every few months at the most. I just charge up the battery before a trip by running a charger out to it.

Trickle charger makes what they call a pig tail. I had one hooked on my Harley


You screw it to the battery leads and it leaves a pig tail out. This end can then be easily plugged into the charger itself when needed.

You can get several pig tails for different items and then plug into the charger only when necessary ....

This way there is no need to take things a part to access the battery terminals. Easy and cheap

I think thats what I need for my generator is just a pig tail.

I use those HF solar maintainers. There not chargers as they wont charge a battery but they will maintain it. I keep them on my stuff that I keep at the farm. THe last few years with my new son I have only gotten there a few times a summer, maybe 4. And a few years only got there every 6 months or so. And in this time my like 2 year old auto battery on the farm truck (no tags just used on property) battery would be so dead it would barely crank the truck over and same with the tractor battery (which is like 7 years old and needs replacing anyway) but with those HF maintainers the batteries stayed topped up and no issue at all.
