Battery for trolling motor

It was only $12 more for the 27DC-6 ($70 instead of $58 for the 24DC-6), and I would have gotten it if it wasn't for the space issue. One question: I put an automatic charger on the new 24DC-6 battery that I bought. The charger is automatic and shuts off when the battery is fully charged, and I set the initial charge rate to 2 amps. I was a little surprised that the new battery seemed to keep taking the charge for about an hour or so before it showed as full. Is that normal? -- that a new battery would need to be charged like that? At 2 amps for only an hour it quite normal. Batteries slowly lose power when they aren't used. I have to top mine off after just a few weeks of non-use and they are both shut off completely from anything that could drain them. Thanks. That's good to know. |
