[QUOTE="paper, post: 372195, member: 8803"] Will this load testing be the same as a standard automotive battery?? Again, I've got no experience with deep cycle batteries and don't know what are the typical signs of failure.. How long should I charge at 2 amps? I'm on the IL/WI stateline and I'll have the boat in a heated garage for about the next week while I'm doing the electrical work. The battery held 12v for almost 2 weeks without being on a charger and I'm sure I'll have a good drain on it several times during the next week. I'm mounting LED daytime running lights on the inside and outside, as well as a couple 15w floods and a 36w spot up front. I'll have plenty of opportunity to do some good ol' draining while getting the wiring done. :) [/QUOTE]
