[C38] Battery replacement

[Don Strong]

Richard: I have four batteries, three for a refer and one starting 
battery, wired professionally by the previous owner. The refer died 
about 5 years ago and I say, good riddance. In 12 years, I have replaced 
them twice. The first time was two years after purchase. I replaced them 
with top of the line marine batteries from NAPA auto parts. They lasted 
9 years, and all failed about the same time. I went back to NAPA for the 
replacements. The key to long battery life was recommended by a friend, 
who is an electrical engineer. It worked for 9 years. Keep them charged 
to about 75% or 80%.  And, don't leave them with a very low charge.
