I made a critical mistake last year, I purchased a 12 volt trolling motor(was a heck of a deal). I have 2 brand new batteries under my bow that I use for my trolling motor. I was wondering, would it be better to use these batteries independently or shoudl i run them in parallel. I have them hooked to a two bank onboard charger, if that makes a difference. One more question, I have two used batteries that came with my boat (two years old) either I or the previous owner forgot to top off the water level and it appears that there is corrosion on the battery plates. Is there a way to "rejuvinate" these batteries.
Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday.
What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures.
Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
