Joe - I got a good deal a couple of years ago at Battery Warehouse here in Annapolis. Group 27s I believe. Right of Forest Drive. Chris D toy box eastport In a message dated 5/19/2008 9:39:32 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
These batteries are at least 3 years old. The PO told me when I took delivery that they “should” be good for the season (last year) so I think some new batteries will be in order. Joe McCary Aeolus II, West River, MD [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) You need to charge the batteries with a constant current charger that is capable of letting the charge voltage float well above the normal limits you see with standard chargers. I have used variable power supplies and have needed to increase the voltage to twice the battery voltage to get any current to flow through the battery. As the current reaches the set charge rate, the voltage will drop to normal levels. I was doing this with aircraft batteries that were worth many hundreds of dollars. It probably wouldn't be worth the expense of time and equipment for the price of most boat batteries.
