Marine sparky
Submitted by dant on Fri, 2016-03-11 17:51
Hi all,
Wondering if someone could help with a good marine sparky NOR, my batteries (I think) have been playing up over the last few months, engines seem to dim everything when I try and start it - thinking there might be more to it seeing the battery is only a year old. Example - starts perfect one day runs all day and dead the next. Might need a good check over of everything.
Thanks all Dan

Check your cables at the crimp especially the earth.
if you have second battery check it is ok it could of dropped a cell and dragging the first one down.
if you have only one and its dead the next day, charge it and then take both leads of then try a few days later. Battery flat then battery U/S. Is it a marine battery as they are built to take the pounding of a boat, if not it may have cracked a plate. I it holds charge then there is something drawing power flattening battery.
good luck DT

Sounds like a bad Earth but something is killing your new battery. Maybe battery 2 has dropped a cell.
