Got to cleaning out my 1436 Alumacraft jonboat that’s been sitting for over two years in the garage .
Became a catch all .
I’ve got it setup with front and rear electric trolling motors .
One of the batteries was in its first year the last time I used the boat .
I’ve had both batteries on battery tenders and they both check full charge .
Would you trust them ?
I’d thought about trying to drain them and see if they will charge back up . But not sure what to use to drain them .
Load test. My bet is that they are fine.
Check your water levels if they are not sealed batteries. Add distilled water to cover the plates if they’re low.
There’s a chance they’ll be just fine.

Surely at least one will get me back in if one goes out .
I won’t get far from the dock .
My right leg swells on me if I sit for a couple hours and Ill have to head back in anyways . Poor circulation. :(
