Have a 12v hose reel on our spray tender trailer. It's wired all the way up to the truck battery so it doesn't have much power.
Wanting to add a deep cycle battery to increase current to the reel motor. Can I hook up the power lead from the truck right to the new battery or will it overcharge it?
Is there a type of a 12V trickle charger that will maintain the bettery from the truck's charging system?
I have a small 120V AC trickle charger but I won't remember to plug it in. Advice is much appreciated. Too muddy to plant here in NW central MN.
