Charging 12v 7 amp battery question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Always store the battery fully charged. most small chargers will stop charging when the battery if fully charged. The small home chargers you can buy for car, motorcycle, ect. batteries have electronics that protect the battery from over charging. It's just important to adjust the setting if there are any to 2 amps or less or a trickle setting if that's what it has. I agree if not using for several months just connected once a month to keep it charged, that will make the battery last for many years.
