[QUOTE="thill, post: 510084, member: 4972"] I don't monitor much anymore, like when I first got them. No, they don't have a shunt. I charge the day before the trip and then tie them together to balance. I check the voltage before putting them in the boat. Almost always 13.5 on the nose. I then use them, and I usually check voltage when I pull them from the boat. Usually, they are only down a 10th of a volt, maybe 2. Lowest I can remember was 13.1 after a long trip to the CBBT in heavy current. Then, I don't charge them again until right before the next trip, as they store best at 30-50% charge. This routine has served me well. My batteries have a 5-year warranty and TimeUSB has excellent customer service, and hopefully, I won't ever need it. I love these things. [/QUOTE]
