I just use my 2-10-50 charger on 2 amp and charge each battery until the charger kicks off about once a month.</end quote></div>
Unless this 2-10-50 charger is totally automatic, I don't recommend using this type of charger, it will likely sulfate the battery and shorten it's life-cycle.
Fully automatic chargers put out a charging load until the battery hits a full charge, then they produce a regulated trickle charge to maintain the preset voltage. Once in a while they increase the charge to the battery which helps to circulate the battery acid which helps prevent sulfation. A continuous charge from a 2-10-50 will continuously charge the battery and the acid will start to boil thus dropping the level. Once the plates are exposed, they will sulfate and you'll have to replace the battery.

What to do with Quads in Illinois for the winter?
the old gas is an unknown amount in each quad so I guess I can guestimate how much is in each quad and then put new gas on top of the stabil that i need to add. The battery situation is a pain as I dont want to have to remove the six or eight batteries as we should be riding them a few times in the snow. Anyone have grip warmers???
