I seem to only get about 3 years out of my batteries.
I do everything the manufaturer recommends,but still,the life expectancey is
the same.
What ever happened to the Delco Voyager series? I've got 3 of these that
I've had (punched) since 1990,and they will still work better than my 3 year
old Nautilus batteries!!
Think'n about kick'n out the bucks 'n go'n for the gell cell.
1 starter 'n 2 troll'n motor batt's will be about $462.00 bucks (ouch)! but
the NAPA man said he's had some for 9 years (?) and still work like new!!
If that's the case,I'll pick 'em this spring 'n give a shot.Sounds cheaper
in the long run.
I fish alot of tourney's, 'n my batteries are right up there next to full
tanks of gas.Without one or the other,you may as well sleep in!

There are pulse chargers available that will help de-sulfate a battery if
that is the problem. Before using one, you generally want to make sure
the
battery is fully charged. This device will pulse causing the sulfating to
be removed from the plates.

My trolling motor battery seems to not have the longevity as it
used
to. It seems like I am only out on the water for a few hours before I
have
to move the speed controller from a 1 to a 2, and so forth. Is there
anything that I can do that will help bring the life back to the
battery?
thanks in advance
