Here is a picture of our new Rolls batteries. Rolls has the reputation for making the best batteries so we have high expectations. They come with a two year replacement and additional five year prorated warranty. We have six of these six volt batteries giving us a total of 660 amp hours. The serial number of the battery is stamped into the case but someone decided not only to write it on the side in big numbers but they did the same on the top as well. Not sure of the reasoning behind that. The above battery is the only one that came where we could see the label from Rolls. The label shows important specification information as well as the purchase date label.
Marine Warehouse, who we bought the batteries from, placed green name tags on the other five batteries right over the Rolls label and the purchase date code. With so many other sides available to put the name tag why would they cover up the important data? Makes no sense. Above the purchase date code can barely be accessed.
Permanent labels won't come off. At least we have one battery where we can see specs.
The batteries are working great. We had to charge them up and as per Rolls recommendations we did a two hour equalization. Today we're adding some distilled water to top them off as the batteries were delivered to us with very low levels of electrolyte. Now that we're set with new batteries and a new charging system we plan on leaving Bocas town today or tomorrow and will go do some gunk holing.
