Thanks for all the responses to this. My last battery was about 10 years old and I only replaced it because it just didn't have it to crank the engine anymore. I only put water in my battery maybe 1x per year. I understand that the cutout is just that, an on/off switch with no regulation. My amp meter was always at 0 when off, and around 4 when running. Now I'm starting to think the amp gauge is off and I'm putting out more amps than needed. I'm going to try lowering the amps (output) and see how it behaves. Thanks again all!
