Battery Charging Question - 01/23/09 10:06 PM

I put a Marine battery in the Dart a year or two ago because it was almost new and i don't use the boat anymore. i have the battery charger on it to top it off because it's been sitting for several months, should i use the regular or deep cycle setting on the battery charger? Thanks.

I use deep cycle on my cars that sit for long periods. The gel batteries have their own setting.

Use a FLOAT charger.
