Thread: Cranking, Trolling Motors and Batteries

They see a lot of use because we generally fish at least once or twice a week year round.

Thanks habits! That maybe my cranking solution!

Brian, I know this is after the fact and a little off the topic but when adding water to your batteries always have them at full charge. When you add water then charge the water heats and expands and at times come out your vent and around caps as acid thus creating a mess. The only exception to this is if you pull the caps and water is below top of plates, then add just enough to cover plates before charging. Then after charging top off.
