All of the Solar Battery Chargers I have found, those between $30 and $60 at least, clearly warn that they are not waterproof.
2 boats and 4 batteries, and they are not charged or used for sometimes 3 or 4 months when water is down. And, I am a regular at the Battery Store for replacing them in the Spring at a hefty cost each.

Question #1- Has anybody tried a way to seal up a $30 charger, and how did it work??

Question #2- Rather than have 4 chargers for 4 batteries, is there a way to charge more than 1 battery with the same solar charger without getting into expensive gizmo's.

Question #3- Is there an issue with Overcharging a battery via solar without some type of controller involved?? The idea of a steady trickle charge on a battery for 2 or 3 months sounds like a misfire?

Your input on this critical issue will be appreciated, as long as it has nothing to do with Politics or the Economy, thank you. Mack
