New batteries - maintaining charge while stored

[pattypape]

Alan,

The other AC plug may be a cooling fan, mounted behind a steel cover,
For a temporary solution, use battery disconnect switches or lift the negative
cables when in storage, or use a timer on the battery boiler about 2 hours per
day, until you decide the many ways to upgrade your chargers. Many smart
chargers available, Iota, Progressive Dynamics, Zantrex are a few. Prices
vary for all needs & budgets.

the chargers/inverters..??
