[QUOTE="gatodoc, post: 5026659, member: 11563"] I'm not sure I know what an "onboard" charger is. The batteries charge off the engine when running. I was told it had 2 batteries so if I was a dumbass and ran one down while parked (radio etc) I could switch to the other and have juice. It's a pontoon boat I bought used. It looks like the switch just clicks between battery 1 and battery 2. I was gonna put a short connector between each pole of them and hook my tender to one to maintain charge as it sits in the lift this winter. The internal wiring may already be set up so if I charge one it'll also charge the other. I'm kinda dumb on this stuff. I had also heard of putting a "controller" on it to avoid overcharging even though I'd using a "battery tender" to charge. [/QUOTE]
