Battery Question

[Wardy]

I put on a new Minn Kota this year with 24 V... Is it normal to have one battery that requires a much (1/2) shorter charge..?

Oooh, was wondering if others noticed that. I have a 24v. trolling motor and of course two batteries for it. One always seems to discharge more than the other as noticed when plugging up to the charger with one orange light and the other still green. At any rate, I've not notice any performance problems though.

A 24-volt battery stystem typically pulls more juice from the first battery then the second.
Periodically switching the batteries around will extend their life by allowing them to age evenly.

Well now I know why mine is acting up. Thanks for bringing this up.
I will swap mine around every few months.
