1319, Timer for charging boat batteries
Posted by Matt Peters, Thu Aug-25-05 07:12 PM
I am not able to store my boat on my propery...

I have been looking into getting an outdoor timer, so that after 8-10 hours of charging, the thing just turns off...

My problem is all the available outdoor timers I've seen at different places have this problem where the timer will eventually turn back on at some interval...I can get a 7 day timer, so hopefully I'll be back to unplug everything, but the typical outdoor timers I'm seeing aren't ideal.

The ideal timer in my mind would allow you to say, I want X amount of hours and after that, turn off completely, and don't turn back on again...

Anyone have any suggestions or know of any good solutions here?

I either have to drive up and unplug my boat, or call the guy who manages the storage facility and ask a favor...I'd rather just be able to automate this...

Thanks for any help here!

Matt
