[QUOTE="FishingCop, post: 83519, member: 133"] Went to get my boat out of storage and battery was dead - couldn't up-tilt the motor. Plugged in the on-board charger, after 24 hours, still dead. HOWEVER the from battery (trolling motor) was very hot to the touch and had leaked out acid into the hard plastic battery case. I switched it to the back to tilt the motor so I could tow it home - that worked. Last year when leaving the charger on overnight, we noticed a hot, battery/burning smell in the garage. So.. Any thoughts on 1. why my battery went dead and won't charge? (2 years old, walmart #24 2. Why is the other battery frying when on the charger?? (1 year old, Walmart #24 Could it be a problem with the charger?? [/QUOTE]
