Back to batterys

[Gary Smith]

Jon,

If all 4 batteries are 6 volt deep cycle, you should replace the full set at the same time, not part of them now, part later. Batteries of different ages don't accept or hold a charge equally well, and the weakest battery in thegroup will pull down the performance of the best batteries in the group. The old weakest link in the chain theory works quite well with batteries. You didn't mention the age of your BB, but the battery charging technology of today is vastly improved over 10 years back, and light years ahead of 20 year old technology. You will often see folks here referring to their chargers as "battery boilers". That is not a term of endearment.

Got a real simple question and won't go into much detail.

I'm going to replace two of my 6 volt batterys in the near future but I was wondering why this happens?

About six months ago I replaced two of the four batterys with new ones. The ones that I replaced would boil out in a few weeks and now the other two did the same thing. What makes a battery boil out of water when they reach a certain age. Anybody know????????
Oh yes the two that I replace are just fine.
