Got the call from the dealer my 2019 triton18 trx w/a 150 pro xs f/s , will be ready later this week. My question is, the starting battery is an agm interstate. It's NOT hooked upto the on board charger. The dealer tells me the battery will never need chargeing , because of the charging system in the mercury.
My concern is what if the boat sits in the garage for 2-3 weeks. Won't the battery need chargeing from being idle. Do AGM's discharge when not is use? LIke lead acid batteries.
Do i need to buy a agm battery charger.
I'm considering changeing it over to a group 31lead acid if this will be a problem.
For what its worth the fit and finish of the 2019 tritons are better than my previous tritons. Once break in is complete I'll go into more detail on this boat.
