As for on-board chargers, I've never had one, but all my guide friends and other guides I've heard talk about the issue in the Florida Keys, they all swear by the Dual Pro. I've never heard any of them say otherwise, and most of them have on-boards down there. On the larger boats especially, keeping livewells and electronics running is their livelihood.
I wasn't sure about the memory issue with lead-acid batteries. I do recharge as soon as I get home, so maybe that's why they last so long. I have found over the years that they last longer when I do fully deplete them. When I didn't do that, they died sooner. Not sure why??? Maybe I wasn't charging them properly when they were only partially depleted. In that case, I don't have a clue what I'm talking about on this post!!!
Thanks for enlightening me.
