  • battery life

    got a 28, had original batteries for 4 years now.

    what kind of life you all getting? I think my batteries may be going weak...taking a while to crank engines to start sometimes

    Deka brand is what I have in now, you guys using anything different?

    anyone put a dual purpose in for the house? Right now they put (3) starting batteries in from the factory.

    thanks

    Battery

    On my 2002 28cc, the two batteries aft are dated 2000 and I have never changed them...I was wondering the same question as you but I have had no problems with them...never even pull them out when laying up for the winter. The third battery (most forward battery) has been replaced a couple of times since it is dedicated to only running the rest of the systems on the boat. I tend to kill it everytime I go offshore overnight since I do not have a built in generator...b ut it is a deep cycle battery so I can pull it out when I return to shore and recharge.

    I think most guys change batteries every 3-4 years so I am probably overdue.
