[C320-list] Battery selection; Questions & Answers

[Dingo Is Talent]

THANKS
Besides the Cyclone that just went past Perth out to sea but made landfall
and crossed in Bunbury down south we are blue skies and 35 decgrees C

Can't say our east coast Aussies are fairing as well...about to be hit again
by a cat 4 Cyclone up near Cairns..

Thanks for the info.  


Kind regards & Thanks

Ron-Unless your original Catalina battery charger was replaced by a prior
art model, a fairly new C320 like yours has a charger with float mode which
keeps the batteries safely ready for action after it goes through its 3
stage drill which culminates in the float mode.  When in the water I am at a
pier with power and the charger is on 24/7 ending up in the float mode after
getting the batteries up to proper charge status.

I sail out of southern Lake Michigan in Illinois and the boat is now on the
tarmac.  Current temperature is here is -5 C and we are expecting wetness in
the form of a serious snow storm which may dump a third to a half meter on
the ground.  Please go out and sail at every opportunity while I crank up
the snow blower and then think about cross country skiing.  Sorry to say,
you can report back and make all of us in the US winter zone a little
jealous.
