Good luck tomorrow, with whatever you find out about them. Battery problems make me positively negative!
3 years is a pretty good run for boat batteries.
Especially if you use them hard!Quote:

Hope it just a loose wire Beagle , I had to buy two this spring !
Battery prices have almost gone out of sight.
I hate to say it...... But 3 years is average life for a set of boat batteries. I put a set in my Champion every 3 years like clockwork.
UNLESS, you buy those really expensive batteries. I won't.
Amen! Last time I got 3 batteries from Springfield Marine Repair for $400.00! This Spring it was $400.00 just for my 2 trolling motor batteries. And I haven't priced the starting battery yet because up to now I haven't needed it but I will before fall.Quote:

probably go with the ole Wall-Mart this time, tractor 5 years, farm truck 6 years, lawn mower 3 years, starter battery in boat 5years, took it out of old boat and it is still cranking good. good warranty, good price, good quality.
I tried them glass filled hot shot marine batteries not to good luck with them,,,
I went the same route. 3-5 years life in the boat as a weekend warrior. Left on digital battery charger 24x7 when in storage. No issues for me and there is a Walmart everywhere in case you run into issues.Quote:

new batteries in hooked up and charging, went to O'Reilly they give a discount to Veterans,,,,
At least you didn't get stranded and you got enough for dinner. Good Luck finding batteries.
O'Reilly's is like WalMart - there's one everywhere you go and they stand by the stuff they sell. :ThumbsUpQuote:
