My set up is a 2017 Phoenix 921 PHX/ Mercury 250 PRO XS and 8' Power Poles, with 1 Helix 12" SI at console and 1 12" Helix DI at bow. On March 2019 I replaced the Intimidator 8a31TM cranking battery that came with my boat, with a Academy Exide 31 series battery because I had fished multipe days and forgot to plug the charger up that night and next day went to back the boat in at Chickamauga and it would not crank the motor. Exide worked great had no problems till this January, went to Dale Hollow fished for 4 days and on 3rd day was fishing in Horse Creek where we was staying it was almost dark and went to crank the boat and the Helix at the console cut off and the motor would barely turn over, so we had to use the trolling motor to get back to the dock. Pluged the 4 bank charger up and showed all 4 batteries charging, next morning when we started out to fish I had all 4 green lights on the charger. 4th day fishing battery gets week on me again, when fishing I'm not running any live well pumps, you can hear nothing running. So the Exide had a 2yr replacement and I returned it to Academy and they know longer sold them, so they give me a Optima blue top 31. It went low enough for the unit at console to cut off but the motor still cranked. charger is still showing green lights after a over night charge. So I disconnect the onboard charger for the cranking battery and plug the cranking battery up to my 12v portable charger for two days. I go fishing today and fish 8hrs and my Helix at the console cuts off, I turn it back on and turn on the volt reading that shows on the graph and it's reading 10volts when I cranked the motor the voltage went down to 7v, when I was runing back to the ramp it was showing 11v. Should it not be showing 13 to 14 volt when the boats running down the lake at 50 mph. Sorry this is so long, it's about to run me bat S#@$ crazy.
