Thanks guys I have pro guides right now, but thought they where just a couple of years old, turn out they are over four years old, so not to bad at all. I will be heading down to golden sometime this week.

2. Over charge with a manual charger at least once a month

How much do you over charge them?

Is this th same as putting them on equalize to clean the plates ? I think industial chargers have an equalize setting that charges the battery at a higher voltage for about 24 hours, perhaps once a month?

This is ok to do for trolling and starting batteries too ? Sealed or not sealed ?

I bought a charger that claims to do this, but it's all automatic and only overcharges if it senses the need. Not what I wanted.

Do you just take a full charged battery and put it on 2 amp charge for so long, or how do you do this?
