Well, no 2900CCA today....the battery bank(s) has been a bit under the weather the last trip to the marina or two....further intense (and seemingly speculative) investigation outed a bad battery (far left one). The first warning signs of electron disparity were nicely heated floorboards and, while I can only dream of the fantasy of hydronically heated flooring, I knew that something was amiss when the battery charger failed to ever turn off when the First Mate and I were aboard.
I've quarantined the bad battery (top battery sans cables) until a suitable replacement can be found. The voltage measurements also turned up a suspect battery that was, while not technically bad, not quite right. The solution will probably warrant having a new set of two of batteries and an older set. I'm thinking that boat maintenance may be developed into a full-time job in retirement :)
(Note the gifted 'Robo-grips" in the top photo----for those of you who do things with your hands working on mechanical things, buy a set (or two) !!!!)
Full time job it will be. $};0)=
