Battery breather tube? (Read 92 times)

Doug A YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 27	Battery breather tube? 06/15/10 at 12:16:25 Hi guys. I am replacing my Big Crank gel battery with a standard one. This one comes with a breather tube. The tube is about 18 inches long and I have no idea where to run it. Is it really supposed to be that long? Thanks, Doug.

Can I ask how old is your Big Crank, and why are you switching?

Ran it all the way down twice and it won't hold a charge anymore. (I bought a Battery Tender and it only charged it for two hours before showing that it was full. It started up when I put it on the Savage, but the next morning it was dead).

Hey bill, 71 years old, and I bet its 18 inches too? LOL

Strange,......in RV use, AGM batteries will take a lot of abuse, more so than regular lead acid. I hope it really is the battery at fault,.....if you're junking it.
