Subject:      Battery/Beckett advice wanted
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Mr. Beckett (or anyone) after following the battery thread I have a question about a Exide deep cycle I just replaced in my 95 EVC (Eurovan Camper). The van we bought with a dead aux battery, replaced it with new Exide Deep cycle from FLAPS. One year later Battery was not taking charge. I checked entire charging sys and finally pulled batt and trickle charged. Other note: when exploring the vehicles elec. sys. after purchase I could not find the 30 amp aux batt fuse in the manual. Winebago claimed they instructed dealers/service centers to remove it after experiencing many service problems with it. There is a place where it looks like mine was cut away from the wire in the batt compartment. Wire to batt is heavy gage.

Could this be why my batt went dead after 1 year? (other than just a bad batt to begin with) Note: batt was checked regularly for fluid and discharged and recharged at normal intervals (light use).
