hi, i have 2 batteries deep cycle both being group 27.... 1 year old running in parallel........just recentley batteries are failing even after a complete charge.....the only way to get the batteries to work ,,,,is to turn on the battery charger at the dock through the a c system on the boat. once battery charger is turned on all electronics do work...the moment we turn off the a c breaker which turns the battery chager on and off .....all the electronics dont work,,,,,,when we are cruising and engine is running all electronics work....when we anchor after about 5 mins all electronics die out.....i took out batteries and noticed the cells all have different colour fluid,,,,,one cell has a transparent colour liquid.....the other a brown orange colour (looks like rust or corrosion) and the other cell a milky colour.......the levels of liquid are where the should be covering the plates....>>>>i just finished fully charging batteries i will take them in to where i bought them for a load test and inspection of the different colour fluids......does anyone know what went wrong....what happened ? why...please post replies thank you
