Hey Folks, so a couple of weeks ago I made a mistake. Was fixing a couple minor things on my boat, giving her a wash, testing out a few things etc. At the end of the day I left the key turned to 'on'. Didn't look back at my boat for 2-3 weeks.
Went to do a pre-trip check and noticed I wasn't getting power to anything and saw the key tipped to 'on'.
The battery was bought new last August. I hooked it up to my Nautilus smart charger and am getting the dreaded Flashing 888, "battery too dead to take a charge". Tried hooking the battery up overnight on a basic bench charger. Won't register a charge.
Any thoughts or is it best to simply drop ~$100 on a new cranking battery?
