    I originally had a question on battery maintenance but found the answer I was looking for in another post. In that post a few more questions were raised for me. The discussion was on battery life on an LX 5 and it mentioned the DCS charger. Mine has a DCS 100. Is that charger used on all Marcum flashers, mine being an LX3tc, or are there different ones used on the LX5, etc??

    Also, I use rechargable batteries in my trail cams and the makers recommend occasionally completely discharging them to avoid “memory” in the battery from only discharging to say, 40%. I believe deep-cycle batteries are the same. My flasher battery never gets below 40% after use. Will this become an issue or is the 2-4 year life expectancy not enough time for this to be a problem??

    Not 100% sure about the battery charging/discharging question, I believe it’s best to always have them charged ASAP.

    The chargers for all marcums are all the same as long as you are using the DCS charger that comes with the units originally.
