I figured someone on here uses trolling motors and batteries and might help me out.
Although I use this for my camper, it still might apply.
A few weeks ago I bought a deep cycle/RV/marine battery from Sears for my small slide in camper. It is rated a 600CCA
When I put the charger on, the charger never goes below about 4 amps,no matter how long I leave it on.
My charger is an old Sears that only has 6&12 volts and no amperage switch.
I borrowed a neighbor's that has 2 amp, 10 amp, and 50 amp settings.
At the 2 amp setting it reads at about 3&1/2 amp, and never goes lower. If I set it on 10 amps, it goes to full charging setting.
Do these deep cycle batteries do this or did I get a lemon battery?
Thanks in advance,
Just checked another battery. Looks like the one I just bought is bad
