I bought two new Renogy 12 volt 200ah gel deep cycle batteries last night. I got a very good deal on them. I'll go into that if anyone wants me to. The batteries will be here next week and I won't be connecting them to my solar panels/charge controller right away.
I'm going to need a good battery charger that I can run off shore power to maintain the batteries for now. I'm looking further down the road however and am wondering if there's a decent charger out there that will run off my Sportsman 1000i generator should I run into a long spell of bad weather or other problems with the solar that may arise? I have DKS (don't know sh#t) but I'm aware that gel batteries have special charging requirements.
(I'm not looking to buy the best and most expensive unit out there. Just something reliable that will get the job done). I'm going to wire the batteries in parallel for a total of 400ah.
Thank you........
