Just sharing, very please and surprized.

Boat has 2 starter batteries and a battery switch. Checked the date codes on them and they were put in the boat in May 2009. Replaced them today out of fear of age. When I dropped them off as cores, I asked the guy to load test them for grins and they came back indicating about 60% capacity left, so not long to live.

Just surprised me they lasted right at 7-8 years. Not like I slaved over them, a little water once a year, and if boat sat they only got charged once about every 3 months. They we 24 group 24M-XHD's.
