Battery Voltage

Quick question, I noticed neither refrigerator wasn't as cold as they should be. I also noticed that my battery voltage is at 11.79 vdc. Do you think the battery voltage could cause the fridges to be warm? I see 2 new house batteries in my near future....

LaRea

Yeah, if that's the voltage after charging, those batteries are done for.

I agree. How old are they?

That's what I thought and will replace them Monday. I just replaced my port engine battery the other day. I think the last time I bought batteries was believe it or not was 2012. I am going to have my guy look it up. 

LaRea

Holy cats!  Yeah, you got your money's worth out of that purchase.

14 years on any battery, let alone in a boat, is just crazy!! I think I got maybe 10 on my thruster which I thought was great.  I’m not willing to chance it on anything else.

What brand of batteries were they?

@captkevin Interstate group 24 for the engine and group 27 for the house batteries.
