Thread: Battery Report

Gave Delco Voyagers a try last go around. Got three years out of all three them.
The first went on the trolling motor in April. Replaced it. The second went bad two months later on my starter motor. Third is starting to go belly up by dropping 3 volts after running 4 hours hard. Gonna replace it today. I keep my batteries in the boat and store the boat in the basement at 60 - 75 degrees year round. I leave the Minn Kota chargers on them at all times. They hit with 5 amps and then have three step downs to a trickle. I thought leaving these on would be beneficial for longevity. Gonna just charge and unplug this time around and see if it makes a difference. One thing I can say for sure is the delcos were consistent as they all showed their age within a few months of each other.
