Hi Guy's-
Thanks for the responses...My chargers are 4 yrs old & the newer digital type MK-220. It is labeled on the charger they can be used for various types of batteries including AGM batteries. I called Minn-Kota to verify & they confirmed that my chargers will charge ALL batteries except a Gel Cell battery.
I understand that my batteries are 6 yrs old & batteries have only so many charges in them but only using the boat 10-15 times a yr on the water seems like they should be lasting longer? At this rate, guides who fish 200-250 days a yr wouldn't even get a full year out of their batteries which I assume isn't true? Because 3 of the 4 batteries spit acid & they are on different chargers ( trolling motor batt's on 1 charger & big motor/kicker batt's on the other)but are doing the same thing I'm assuming the chargers aren't the problem? I'm just trying to figure out the validity of the guys statement? I am beginning to believe the AGM type really aren't worth the extra $$ unless charged correctly but no one can agree on what the correct way is???
If anyone else that has more technical knowledge about this & would like to respond I would love to hear your opinion & whether I'm over-thinking this whole thing?
Thanks
