Charge Boat Battery at home?

[davidjwave]

So i've just replaced one (soon to be two batteries) on my Fairline Sunfury.

The batteries are classed as 'weak' in the survey.

Not one to waste things - is it worth taking home to charge at home so i have a 'spare charged battery'?

Or once it's done it's done

The battery was still just about turning over the engine so not 'dead' just weak.

What do you think

Buy new.

If it is only just about turning over the engine, then it has had it.
I assume you have checked the system is charging etc?

Thats next on the list!

2 minutes with a multimeter will tell you all you need to know.

Take home fully charge , then leave a 10 watt bulb connected see how long it gives a good light then do a calc.

No mate. For your purposes that battery serves no purpose. Get some money back on it at the scrappy at best

my previous batteries were going duff. I fitted an advert alternator controller. That sorted the problem. Money well spent on a yscht with high power consumpfion
