Next season battery quit taking charge and was toast after about 3 years? 500 plus for new battery, I had gotten to know sales manager from
Company from my sales days. He helped me get the motor. After some discussion that 3 years for a $500 power head/battery ( it was built into the head unit) was not very good. He got me with a tech and they offered a refurbished battery, it was problematic and never worked right. Finally they got me a new battery and a new charger, he said the one I had was not right?? It was what they supplied with the motor when I bought it. Now supposed to store it at less than full and check. It now seems to not take a full charge and doesn’t last as long as it used to. I used to troll with it and use on Jon boat for duck hunting. Haven’t checked it for a while, don’t use it much anymore. Seems like there has been a learning curve on battery care with the new technologies. For the manufactures and consumers!
FIFY.
Single main, no kicker.
