(also published in DIY section) I want to turn on my battery charger for 10 hours every 2 weeks while iā€™m out of town. Charger draws 12 amps Has to be on 12 hours How do I do this? Purchase one Defiant model 49814 7 day timer ($24.97) and one Defiant 15 amp 24 hour timer model 49829 ($14.97) from Home Deopt. Set the 7 day timer for 12 hours on time every 7th day Set the 24 hour timer for 12 hours on time. This will power the charger for 10 + 2 hours every 2 weeks. ---

Nice idea Rodney. And most power companies have lower rates on non-peak hours. So you could set it to charge in the wee hours of the morning and cut down the already minimal cost. šŸ˜‰ ---

It will hit the off peak every 2nd cycle.
