Re: [A/S] Keeping batteries charged
Judy, my 1999 Safari was delivered with an Interstate battery, and it would
not hold a charge for any length of time. For a "small" fee, and after much
pleading, the factory replaced my original battery with another Interstate
battery. It had the same characteristics and would not hold a charge. I went
to Wal*Mart and bought their best wet cell marine battery and it solved my
problem. In dry storage with the 12 volt disconnect switch opened, the
Wal*Mart battery holds a charge for weeks instead of days like the Interstate. From
this experience, I do not have a very high opinion of Interstate batteries.
