A long haul trucker friend told me a trick they use to extend battery life. Annually, or when you notice your battery losing power, add a 325 grain aspirin tablet to each cell. This desolves the buildup on the plates and renews the cells. In the last year I lost 2 Interstate batteries. One was 9 years old and the other 13.

Cool tip! Thank you

I fill my Marine Interstate battery every year. After you top off and put it on the charger, sit by your battery and listen in. You can here the cells charging with subtle popping noises. Cool stuff.

I have Agm batteries and they are great no problems.

Thank you. Excellent video

PbO2 is lead oxide NOT (peroxide).

I bought one from Interstate lasted 6 months they gave me a free one lasted 5 months done with Interstate I was only running a 30 lb MinnKota on it with a 12 ft John boat

Hi Brian, would you recommend using a marine deep cycle battery on a newport NT300 motor?

@BrianGaberFishing

2 ай бұрын

You could. Those motors will go 5.5 mph and will use 23% of a 100 amp hour battery (36volt system) in an hour. The conditions (wind/waves) will affect those results. But if you have a 36 volt system and some amp hours, it should work just like the deep cycles that have powered all the trolling motors before the lithium batteries came online.

Saw a viedo where they kinda refurbished a battery by adding water and hooking it up to a high-powered charger and boiling the corrosion off.

Don't do that. You will only cause more off gassing. If the hydrated cells won't charge, either your charger has a low voltage cut off, or your battery is just that worn out, or you have an improper mixture of electrolyte. Could be grounded out retaining walls between the cells from warping due to excess heat. If this is the case your battery will hold weird voltages based on how many cells are within. For example a car battery holding 10vdc after a charge is a 12 plate 1v cell grouping. With 2 plates grounded, it bypasses those cells only outputting 10 volts. Do not use this battery. There are some higher end chargers that will refurbish a battery with a proper charging cycle. But, it's probably best to get new batteries and take better care of them. Best of luck.

Just bought two DC-27 Interstate batteries at Costco..................$89 each

SO YOU TELL US WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO......NO SHOWING ANY INFO, SO THIS WAS GOOD FOR RADIO.

Its sheding sulfates into the electrolite turning the acid into water releasing electrons, there is no such thing as a 3 to 1 ratio of the solution. Thats the specific gravity of the acid depending on it's current charge. You are giving advice about chemical equations you dont fully understand. You gave somemgood advice about temperature and basics. But how do you even mauntain your 3 to 1 ratio if you don't even mention a hydrometer to measure the specific gravity of the electeolite. Hydrogen gasses off from the water and evaporates, usually only requiring adding DI-water to maintain the proper level. Recharging the battery will use the H2O with the charge equation turning it back into acid while absorbing electrons and the sulfates back into the plates.

Where can I get one for $99?

I was surprised when I researched your question. I got them at my local marine dealer last summer. I remember getting them for around that mark. Checking today, the group 27's are up to $144. www.interstatebatteries.com/products/srm-27/rv-equipment

Thanks for the feedback Ken. Beyond some lead acid basics and maintenance, I was recognizing that they still are a decent option for dependability. At the time of the video they were very reasonably priced compared to some of the more popular expensive options that are coming online.
