So i got a holdover that has a AGM as primary starting batter. Trolling motors are normal ones. So most likely has been sitting for two years altough imo inside as it looked like it hadnt been moved.. Put the charger on the trolling motor batteries charged up right away green light, the AGM took for ever but finally it showed green. Dealership ran the motor supposedly before i took it I do not know if they did or not - the radio electronics all worked before i charged anything.
I plugged in the charger Sat night again the AGM takes for ever but finally shows green. I take it out sunday -- did the 2 hour burn on the engine - go back home plug in the charger and the AGM showing 20 or 30% on the bars (pro charging sytsm). It charged but took an hour to show green. It may be sucking energy from somewhere. Pro charging sys - i dont think its the charger. I will start swapping things around this week.
Before i do so thoughts?
