I bought a dinghy this summer from a friend. It is a nice AB RIB center console with a 20hp Tohatsu. It has a start battery. I think (hope) my question is very basic. When I had a motorcycle and a car that I did not drive in the winter, I put each one on a battery maintainer over the winter. I still have one so I am wondering if I should put the SBS Marine Starting battery on the maintainer, or simply charge it up and disconnect it. The dinghy will be stored in a heated garage. The battery maintainer is a Schumacher Battery Maintainer, fully automatic with float mode monitor. Output is 6/12V DC at 1.5A DC.
