Thread: oh bother battery mygoodness

How old was your battery? I've just bought one an AllRounder for our camper.

Hi cucinadio, can you post a few more details, like how long you had the battery, the size of the battery, how you have used it and if you have abused it EG ever flattened the battery and so on.

Cheers.

It should be still under warranty so take it back and see what you can get.

That may depend on the output of your charger compared to how many CCA's your battery needs to turn your engine over. In the past I have put my start battery on charge for three or four nights before the hydrometer on the battery has indicated any change, the reason is the start battery needed 850 CCA's or thereabouts and the charger I had was just a little cheapo one from Super Cheap with not much outut. Using the same charger on the deep cycle it still took a couple of nights but I had results much quicker because it was a much smaller battery.
