I've been to Cabela's, Dicks, Menards, Wal Mart and several other stores looking for items I might need, including a deep cell battery.
Every place has them for sale, but none are in a low charge mode to keep the battery charge up where it should be.
I really don't want to buy unknowingly - a battery sold as new, when in fact it's been sitting on the shelf for a couple years.
As this will be my first marine battery purchase, how can I know that I am getting a brand new battery?
When is the right time of the year to make a battery purchase?
As a side note, am I worrying over nothing on this..
I posted earlier, titled - no tin boat for me.. I ended up buying a canoe from Dicks last saturday. It's a Old Town Discovery 169.
The concern i have with the canoe, now that I've paid for it, it's still sitting at Dicks until this weekend.. is that when I went to get it registered, the person at the license bureau told me I should have gotten some type of paperwork to have when registering it. All I had was the sales receipt. The person at the license bureau called Dicks, and got the needed information. I thought I was buying a 2011 canoe, but according to the person at Dicks, it's actually a 2009 model. And on top of that, every discovery canoe I've looked at had a green or red hull. The canoe I paid for has what looks like a bad spray paint job, greenish grey looking. I called Old Town, they said it was a camo version made for the selling company. Color wise, I really like it. Actually, everything about it I love.. just curious what opinions you guys might have about the age of it ?
Thanks in advance,
Pem
