I would like to just disconnect one lead from the battery to prevent the continuous charging and connect it occasionally to keep the battery up without having to remove the battery to refill it.

If you choose to do that, it would be more convenient to add a battery disconnect. That way you don't need tools and it saves time.

Gosh, I did not think I would get so much response. Thank you.

The converter is a Inteli Power 9100


In the world of converters there are two standards by which you can name a converter "The Best"

And the PD 9100 with wizard, or the PD 9200 (Wizard built in) are, by one standard THE BEST

They also do not need a battery.

Just how good are they? Well, in my ham shack there is a very nice radio that likes a steady diet of 12 volt DC This radio can not tell me if the battery is there or not when I'm plugged into shore power, it works just fine, no trace of humm or distortion if the battery is "missing" (Disconnected)

So it will work just fine

Or you could leave the battery in and leave it hooked up.. I mean I have to water my U-2200's annually
