One of 6 bad battery?
Yahoo Message Number: 111891
Hey-
I checked my 6, 6v domestic batteries today with one of the turkey baster testers -
One battery I think is going bad - the other 5 are all reading 1275-1300 on all cells pretty evenly, but the one battery varies from 1260 to 1300, and one cell was unusually high in acid level. I do check and fill the batteries as necessary every 3 months, and I did fill them 2 weeks ago. How is the one cell much higher now?
The bank is float charged, and I did a equalization cycle about 2 weeks ago (last time as about a year ago).
So, my question is, if the one battery is going bad, will it negatively effect the other 5, such that I should replace the one battery?
The batteries are Interstate Deep Cycle Extreme- GC2-XHD-UTL - I think they are around 4-5 years old at this point (the date stickers were not changed to show the date).
Thanks,
