baironhorse Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 My Engerizer 12v (850 CCA I belive) battery won't hold a charge any more. Was working fine couple of weeks ago and then hooked it up to my MotoMaster Eliminator charger at 12A charge rate...Once charged it says 100% next day when I check it drops back down to 10%....I then checked cells and topped up some with Distilled water...Again same thing....I then ran my trolling motor on it to remove any surface charge and repated process at 12 A then at 8A.... and yet the same thing...Is my charger not doing the job? Will a Natalus marine charge make a difference...How can I reveive this battery from the dead? Final note I think the battery was manufactured in May 2006... Let me know your thoughts..
bigbuck Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 It could be pooched, it is 4 years old. Take it in to a Canadian tire and have them do a load test to see if there is any life in it.
Billy Bob Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 How can I reveive this battery from the dead? Buy a new one,you got the expected use out of it.
Garnet Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 So hook the charger to the battery now plug it in. If the needle jumps up charger is working. Most likely you have dead cell. Use your stroller some hook to charger if it says 11 volts you have a dead cell if it says 12.3 your battery is getting old and tired and you still need to replace. If your battery's start using water they are on there way out.
Guest LivingLegend Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 If you are on the market for a new battery I would go for a maint. free battery, they are alittle pricy but less headache........more time for...
fishnsled Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 Buy a new one,you got the expected use out of it. About 4-5 years is all I ever seem to get out of a battery. I'd say it's time for a new one.
tb4me Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) I too would invest in a new one. while your there get the Natulas charger too. It will extend the life of the new battery. do a search on this topic it has been discussed many a time on here. Some exellent info for ya! Edited September 9, 2010 by tb4me
