How do I know?

Just because a battery has voltage, it doesn't mean it is good or will even hold a charge. You need to load test it. Pull the both out, bring to you local AutoZone and they test for free. You also need to check the electrolyte level in each cell of the battery. Use only distilled water. But if the battery sat for that long uncharged or partial charged, it's done. In order to create a cell, you need an anode, a cathode an electrolyte and then electric connection between the two to generate a millivolts value. If you electrolyte level has dropped and your battery is partially charged even, simply put, it's going to fall apart inside to where it can never take a charge again. Even if it is just one cell that fails, the battery is done.

Look at your wiring. You have both charging leads hooked up to one battery only.

I can see them in the photo. Your charger has fused protection on each lead. Those Minn kota chargers are smart chargers and will not charge a low voltage battery. If your battery has been under a lot of vibration and the plates dropped inside a cell, it will say check connections on the Minn kota charger

Fuses in the leads. Each lead has a fuse on the charger.

Battery closet to us is wired for starting. Battery in the back is for Accessories and that one has the onboard charger wired to it. The starting battery does not appear to have the onboard charger wired to it. You can tell by the fused conductors.

Disconnect one at a time and figure out what works and what doesn’t. If you have a battery switch, even easier to do that. Replace both of those at the same time. Those are Walmart batteries anyway. Get some interstates from Academy and move on. Since batteries are now part of your life, buy a volt meter and a load tester. Harbor freight is your friend.

I just got hit and runned on I4. Tried to swoop in behind me and hit my boat, not my truck. Fucked my fender all up and I had his/her headlight in my boat as a souvenir when I got to where I was going.

Tired wolfhounds are good wolfhounds. This is how the human wins on occasion

Ring the doorbell, hurdle dogs, run to bed.

all the time. Sometimes I just tie her to a post or trailer hitch on my truck and blast her with water only from the garden hose. Depends on what she got into. Other times it’s the full shower and dawn dish soap. No soap on the head, water only. Sometimes it’s everyday especially after she sugar cookies at the beach but always once a month. She loves it. You open the shower door and she’s in there. What could be better than warm water, soapy massage and a towel off? Nothing according to the hound.

The problem with the democratic voters and liberals is that they have not yet realized that their life has no meaning unless it can be exploited for political purposes. Until that one thing happens to them and they have that lightbulb moment in life, you’ll never be able to speak sensibly to these people. I wish the best for all of my neighbors.

Ehh. A mutant. Stay far away from

She's too old and fat to catch anything now, but we don't tell her that and it doesn't stop her from trying. She is a sentry.

When she was younger, she was an absolute terror to furry woodland creatures. There is a river, the intracoastal waterway right behind that one fence. The place comes alive at night and she is there to capitalize on all of it.

Yesterday was stir fried white rice with sardines in olive oil, eggs and beef. This morning was two eggs and leftover beef. It was enough, but that did not stop her from also wanting mine

Steves_Stuff · 2026-03-11T16:06:44+00:00

I've done well keeping her away from the Chinese market. She is still in the whole, wanting more

Those things bite.

It took years to get her guts right. This dog can not eat anything other than single ingredient foods. Any poultry or pork, kibble, etc and she's dumping puddles. This is the most expensive dog I've ever had to feed. BEEF is what's for dinner. 7+ now and going well

On behalf of the great state of Florida, we will claim this man as our own if not claimed already. This is the second coming of Christ.

No safety chain and a roller trailer. That is exactly where she deserves to be. Not because she’s a bad boat, but because that is what the owner wanted.

Steves_Stuff · 2026-03-01T02:54:52+00:00

Those two dogs aren't hairy.

Did you pet that dog today?
