You should be grateful you got seven years' (maybe eight seasons) service out
of your batteries.

It isn't posible to tell whether you batteries are in critical need of
immediate replacement without running a test, but it would be a generally good
idea from a preventive standpoint based simply on their age alone.

Best flooded battery you can buy is probably a Rolls or Surette. (Same battery,
two different brand names). I was recently introduced to Meridian AGM
batteries, and I think they have a number of excellent characteristics as well.

Thanks Chuck. Do you think the Rolls or Surette are longer lasting
than the seven seasons I've gotten from mine?

Another thought is that I may get another bought after a few more
years. No sense in buying twenty-year batteries in that case. Hell,
the new owner of my boat, if and when, may just take it out and
capsize it!
