Mine are probably 3 or 4 years old at least.
Heck my trollers i bought from Reese and were a year old i think. They were still going strong. Looked at it all just now and everything is pretty dry now. The battery post are a funky color and have those white corroded spots all over the posts.....probably not a good sign. Probably the worst park is pulling those dern trolling batteries out. Putting them in i dang near lost a pinky lol.

Them dudes are HEAVY!!!! Good luck dude!!

Cut all your wires back some Mike. That electrolysis usually runs up the wire a ways.

You might need a reset, just put one wire to your left ear and the other to your right ear. If lightning shoots out of your foot they're good to go. (learned that from Amos and Andy).
