Thread: Thursdays Battery lesson

My Cranking Battery is on it's last leg to. I can fully charge it with the portable and then put the charger on it a few days later and it's down to 80%

Your outboard motor must not be charging your cranking battery at all when you run it from what you have been telling us....you probably should get that checked out.

It doesn't run down enough to cause cranking problems G when I run the big motor

Ya Gewber. How many wires you got hooked up on yo crankin battry? Prolly be a couple fer your fuse panel, a couple fer yo big motor and hopefully a couple fer your on-board charger. The ones from yo charger should be bigger than your fuse panel wires, but smaller than your big motor wires. Least that's the way mine is. Now git to lookin.

Maybe we should start from the beginning with this one G.

DD, how old is your cranking battery?

If the age is in double digits, I'm gonna slap you.

Oh yea. You're still ugly and a Gewber. There also may be wires for your FF on the cranker as well. Course I'm sure you know what they look like. Ferget that last statement. They the ones comin from yo FF and ain't very big either.

Wb, why is this always a challenge? Is it because he's ugly or because he's a Gewber?

Sure it's the battery that came with the boat cause the Tm batteries were. It's a 2005 model boat and the wiring is very basic but I've never had to deal with wiring before so I'm TRYING to learn now. All the FF wiring is my wiring and yes, it's all hooked up to the Crank battery which is where I was tolt to hook it so there wouldn't be any interferance on the FF due to the TM being on. I KNOW I need a new cranking battery and will get one as soon as I get some mo money. 2 TM batteries were 210 after tax, then today I'm getting oil changed and 2 tires for truck. Thats another 250. I'm trying to get all my stuff right so be patient and understanding. BTW, I am purtier than you, just ask me

When you hooked the FF's up, how many wires did you see on the cranker? Btw, you ain't purtier than nobody. You fugly.

2 tires? What kind if democratic Gewber changes 2 tires at a time? On a more serious note, tell yo tire man to find you some tires that have been pulled off a new truck. I just bought a set that was pulled off and traded on a new set. Got a set just like what came on my truck fir $400. That's half price of a new set. Only had 200 mikes on em.

don't remember Minner, have to have a look see back there.
