I've had my boat a few weeks now and am getting ready to check the battery cell levels. I have two Interstate 27M Batteries on a Quest Charging system. Questions:
1. Is it best to shut off the shore power main breaker before I take off the cell covers so the charger is off while I've got the covers off? Or is there a better way. (Don't need any explosions of acid in my face) :wow:
2. The covers are on TIGHT! Whats the best way to remove the covers without destroying them. :smt013
3. Fill the low cells with distilled water till the tops of the plates are covered? :huh:
4. Why do they have two "Cranking" batteries. Isn't one supposed to be for the accessories (Deep Cycle)
5. How long will my batteries last? They are 2 1/2 years old now.
Thanks!
