[QUOTE="user 26281, post: 482794, member: 26281"] On previous post, the circuit breaker should be close to the + side of battery. I think the standard is within 10”. There are some over current failures (shorted wire) that could happen where the wire between the circuit breaker and the battery are not protected. The closer the breaker is to the battery, the better the circuit protection. On your last test, when the batteries come back to 92 & 93%, I would have very high confidence in your batteries. The drop in % of capacity when motors are running is normal for lead acid batteries and the type battery gauge. I normally don’t pay attention to my volt meter when using my trolling motor, but it does show quite a drop when in high speeds and a lower drop when in low speeds. [/QUOTE]
