My boat has an Interstate Lead-Acid RV/Marine Battery the dealer installed
this spring. When I picked up the boat with this battery I noticed the voltage was low (probably around 11.5 v?). I've charged it since, but it seems to lose charge quickly. I disconnected all leads from the battery for 3 days and it held 95% without drop. Once I re-connect the wires, it lost 7% charge in one day (95% @12.75v to 88% @12.63v), this seems like a lot of drop for not having any accessories turned on. I'm certainily interested in a battery shut-off switch... but perhas I should warranty the battery first? Can anyone validate if this is unusually high capacity drop for a 35-40 ma load (as measured by my digital voltmeter)? |
