1. Weak battery- This battery problem
can be caused by low electrolyte cell
levels.
Wa r m , b i l g e c o m p a r t m e n t
temperatures will deteriorate a battery’s life quicker
by evaporating the water from the electrolyte, thus
corroding and weakening the positive grids inside
the battery.
With the house battery low electrolyte levels can
be monitored by periodic inspection and filling
as needed with distilled water. Boaters in higher
climate areas with longer stretches of hot weather
will need to check their batteries more often.
The “maintenance free” engine cranking batteries
require no water. They do feature a different
chemistry that does consume less water. Inside
the cells as gases are released condensation is
formed which aids in maintaining the cell electrolyte
level. These batteries incorporate a deeper layer
of electrolyte over the plates, but eventually it can
run dry. On the 31 series engine cranking batteries
keep all terminals clean, connections tight and your
electrical system in top shape to extend battery life.
2. Dead Battery- Either the battery will not accept
a charge, hold a charge or the charging system is
not supplying a charging current through the battery
charging system and/or engine stators.
The battery charger output can be checked by
monitoring the lights on the charger front face.
To begin with check the battery post connections
for tightness and corrosion.
With the engines running the displayed voltage
of the port or starboard engine battery and house
battery should be between 12.5 up to 14.6 volts.
Battery Problems/Solutions
If less than 12 volts check for voltage across the
battery terminals.
If less than 12 volts on the house battery use a
hydrometer to locate faulty cells.
On maintenance free batteries they can be removed
from the vessel if necessary and trickle charged.
If readings after charging are still low replace the
battery.
