desulfication is important. That's why sometimes you can charge a battery backwards and it will come back to life.

I have a Noco charger, older model 1.1A, bought in 2016... pretty amazing as like everyone else some vehicles are not driven too often. this charger has revived some batteries, that can sit unhooked for about 2 months and still be at almost maximum reading of 12.54 V, Max is 12.65V. The other battery is still reading 12.74 V after 2 weeks!

This is it:

For the FSJ sleeping in the great outdoors, the 1 amp solar charger is good enough, except after a few dark days! Using the 24

You can do that if you add a simple Power distro center from the battery to the fender or something.

Yai had to buy a 6amp trickle charger for my Jeeps, with 4 of them, (one my moms) so i have 3, with 3, and only 1 driven usually, the others tend to sit for a bit i noticed my batteries were getting low and slow cranking so i put 1 on a charger and rotate. should probly buy a 2nd charger to keep both charged.
Sure, you can do that, but I prefer to run high amperage draw items directly off the battery. Parasitic loss from extra cable lengths and relays is not wanted by me.
lol there is no parasitic draw from a 1 foot MAX length 0-4ga cable. You need to learn how wire size and voltage loss works

lol there is no parasitic DRAW from from any length of any size cable.

I think he does understand how it works which is why he likes to run the big users to the battery, not to a distro center.
