Hello,
I never had a troll motor before so it is new to me. What's the best way to maintain the battery? Its been working fine for 6 months now and this past weekend it started to get real weak and I could not troll anymore? I have always put a solar panel to trickle charge it. I have one on the main engine battery and I did the same on my previous boat and never had battery issues. I always brought a jump box with me anyways. But can anyone give me a real good way to keep it up and take care of so it does not go bad? Can I revive the one I have now. it measures about 10.5 volts. I put a black and decker smart charger on it and it came back and said replace or service battery. I appreciate any help. Thanks
