Re: Is my battery shot?
I think they are a total waste of double the money. Logging road
vibrations will still kill them just like regular batteries and they
have a short warranty.
Canadian Tire now sells the spiral cell batteries, I would be checking
those out for the warranty if nothing else. The spiral cells are nice
if you aren't rubber side down, they have no acid to spill so you can
still winch yourself back over.
Oh, if you cut the label on your battery, you should still be able to
open the top to top up the water for the charge if needed. A deep
discharge/charge can use up water.

I was just over at Can Tire looking at those, but they are marine
batteries, any idea what the difference is?
