Subject: RE: battery woes...

I used it today. Seemed fine. But before I went out I hooked the PD55 to it and tested the battery thru the minnKota's l.e.d. panel and only 2 lights came on. # lit the other day. So I put it on the charger for an hour before I had to leave. Left it on the 2 amp setting. Brought it to over 75% again, which could mean 99 down to 75%. It was still at 3 lights when I got home. I put it on the charger overnight at 2 amp. We'll see in the am. I dont think I can run it for 24 hours. It will step down and eventually shut off. This charger is shown in Cabelas Marine catalog. I usually dont fish the next morning after a trip so I wont charge again on the highest setting, even if it steps down soon after. How many of you would buy a sealed battery vs. a maintenance one??? And is the long, lowest setting the best way to charge a deep cycle? Thanks for letting me ramble.....
