Location: davis,IL | If you see acid leaking out of the top of the battery you are probably overcharging it. A slow low amp charge is best, but a battery only has so many charges in it. I have had my batteries for 6 years now, I do not charge after every trip out unless I run the troller hard. If I'm running for multiple days in a row (fishing Canada) I'll usually charge every 2 or 3 days depending on how hard I run it. I have a 17' Crestliner with a 74#(24v) Minn Kota, If I run a couple three days in low wind where I have it set to low (20 to 30 %) I'll go a few days. If running heavy wind all day I'll charge it. I used to have a 12v 55# minn kota and had to charge every day. The 24v troller runs much better than the 12v did.
