Spring being here battery sales are skyrocketing, and with the "pro" rating of batteries inregards to exchange means there are a lot of one year old batteries being returned and upgraded by fisherman. Now the problem is not many service centers and battery sellers return the product to suppliers the typical fix to this for "them" is to recharge and test it, if it holds 90% of it's charge it goes back inline for sale most often on the front of the rack in the back battery areas (weight!!) Check your new batteries for dyletic grease on the screw terminals and scratches on the soft lead posts or threads these are signs of former use. The grease or scratches indicate usage. Also walking back with sales people when possible will insure that you do get the "front" battery.
