dunefreak Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 check the water levels. Usually if they have already gone low its too late and your batteries are now :poop: for good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitcat Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Try distilled water. If that doesn't work, then get new batteries. I think we got our Marine/RV batteries at Costco. They are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Get a really long extension cord that will reach from your house to wherever you are camping!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINNER Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 definately need to keep up on the water for sure. i have heard some good things about switchin to 6 volt batteries, like golf cart batteries, heard the run time is increased substantialy (sp), and the battery life is also increased. i have been kicking the idea around for a bit now, just havent pulled the trigger. my father in law has been looking into these batteries for his boat, the company is called lifeline, and there is some good info on their site. lifeline batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp-guy Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Definately get the 6 volt batteries if you have the room for them. The deep cycle ones can take a beating and recharge very easily. Also look into a solar charger to keep them maintained in the off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKINNER Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 there are some places that sell the trojan 6v batteries in a "6 pac" so to speak, removed from golf carts. in fact there are some on ebay, price varies on the age of them it seems, plan on about 500. i would love to go with the lifeline batteries, but i think the 6v "flooded" golf cart are gonna be what i end up going with. since the lifeline AGM batteries range from 300 to 600+ per battery :ah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time you let voltage get below 12.25 (no load) you shorten their lifespan. Stick a cheap digital voltmeter somewhere easy to see. This is where I had mine till I did the solar setup.
