Subject: battery woes...


I bought an Everstart Deep Cycle 27 series last fall. late Sept. It has a sticker on it that states 8/06. The code that is pressed into the casing is unlegible. I have charged it at most 12 times this year. I did not start using it til this spring, after i installed the 55PD MinnKota. I have been using a Vector portable charger. The motor stopped for abit Sunday so I peeked under the caps afterwards and saw what i believe is sulfation in 4 or 5 holes. Charger says it is full. But after checking each 'port' with a hydromter, cheap one, floating balls, the best I could get in any of them was a 50%. I have been charging on the 12amp setting, though it has a 2 and a 6 available too. Was the battery bad to begin with, or am I not charging correctly? I dont want to do this to the next one. Right now i cannot locate the receipt for a free replacement. Thanks.
