I have 2 gel cells bought in 1998 and all new electrical from previous owner on 1974 35-2.
2 years ago I had to replace my charger as they were not getting charged and became completely discharged once.
Suddenly I'm arriving to go sailing and yet again finding dead batteries... (What is more frustrating than that???)
Questions:
What is the normal life expectancy of a gel cell?
If they are trashed, should I buy 2 new gels or "AMI" (whatever that is) batteries or combination as my engine and house bank?
Thanks for the education...
