Do you have a House battery independent of the Crank? There are some diagrams here: http://www.stealth1charging.com/MANUALCOVERPG/2016 New Manual for DC charger 24-36 .pdf if you don’t see what you are looking for ask Danny and he will get you one.

Darn thing is amazing. 7 years out of my Deka Group 31 AGMs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you running a starting or deep cycle for starting. I have a starting and deep cycles for TM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubble Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 You guys are killing it. I’m at 3 years and thinking I need to replace. My boat sits for a month or so at a time without plugging in. Thinking about adding a timer at an outlet if I can find one that will kick on/off one day a week.

Plugging up once a month, if idle, should be good enough. I think my long battery life is directly related to the charge on the fly of the Stealth.

jason p Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think the quality of the battery has everything to do with the life expectancy. I had 9 year old Odyssey TM batteries on my HPX when I sold it and they were still going strong. These batteries sat (in the boat without being used or charged) for a months at a time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubble Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I ran a volt meter on the batteries After running the boat and letting it sit for a week. TM1- 12.13 TM2 - 12.46 TM3 - 12.43 Crank - 12.36. (11.96 after trimming motor up and down) Each battery tested “Weak” on a cheap Harbor Freight tester today after sitting for a few weeks. I have the batteries on charge tonight and will re-test tomorrow. Danny says each battery should run a min of 12.6 after being plugged in. They may be in better shape that I thought.

After they charge it is best to let them "rest" for 24 hours before testing to get a more accurate results. Danny can also help you do a "load test" if you think you may need to go that far.
