ANSWER: 1. The cost of the average starter or deep cycle battery is $ 85, with an average-life of three (3) years (200 full charge – discharge cycles). Many types, such as sealed AGM, Gel or spiral-wound “dry”(Optima, Odyssey, Exide, Interstate) cost considerably more ($125 - $175 ea.). They also will not reach their full design life of 5 or more years, unless they are properly “treated” during their entire lifetime. 2. The
Average performance of all battery types, over their life, diminishes to
50% of original. Measured in either cranking-amps (starter type
battery) or ampere-hours (deep cycle battery), your battery has “shrunk”
when compared to its original performance and capacity by 50% or more,
before it finally dies. The major reason (believed by many authorities to
be 75-90% of the cause) for this loss is not just “old age”, but a condition
known as “sulphation”. |

two (2) -AA "hot buttons", without major expense we should do so. |
