Battery drain
Got a new walmart MAXX24dc a year ago. It was free under warranty, it's the one in the trailer when I bought it. It was only 1 year old. Now the replacement is about a year old and doesn't seem right...

Tag on the battery states 92 amp hr. Actually it says at 1 amp draw 92 hrs.
I'm just wondering if this is not holding charge correctly?
Good info on the link, thank you.
Your year old Grp 24 Walmart battery is probably not even 76 AH at present. As the battery is used and abused it becomes sulfated and will not have the same capacity as new. BTW, if you don't have one, a battery disconnect switch will prolong your battery life and is easy to use. Just turn the switch to off when the battery is not being used or charged.
