I'm down a deep cycle battery so I don't have one to swap out on fences. With the one here at the home place I just charge it while it is sitting out there. Yesterday I wasn't sure that battery was any good, as it charged all day and was still pulling about 8 amps many hours later. Tonight it hit me - I never unplugged that charger - my old standby Schumacher 2-10-30 amp job. And it rained all day.
I grudgingly went out and it was still working away. And the battery was fully charged. It was probably good for that battery. The charger probably could have done without the water I poured out of it. It would have really fouled my day to lose that old charger. The new Schumacher smart charger I have wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes in that rain.
