Rob,

 

What is your winter procedure to get such long life?  I have been removing my 3 
flooded batteries and storing them in my garage, giving them a monthly charge 
“top up.”  Would much rather not carry them down and then back up the ladder 
comes spring.  My boat is 1 hour away in the winter so do not get there that 
often to give them a regular charge.  

 

Do you charge them on regular visits to the boat?  Do you disconnect them and 
let them sit, with very slow self discharge during the colder months?  

 

Thanks,

Brian

I have two Group 27's Great Northern deep cycle batteries that have just seen 
their 11th season of use.....leave them on the boat over the winter.

Time to get new ones but they just keep on going.

Anyone still use flooded batteries.  Looking to replace 3 weak batteries that 
are causing engine startng issues. 

 

Are the AGM or Gel batteries worth the $$ s.

 

Thanks in advance.
