Charged batteries an tested them one is marginal and one ok 710 and 740 cca an they 850 cca bats gonna put them back in and check alt hope it was from fixing lights last night and havin key switch on and low plugs coming on and not far enough to work to recover the charge

If one of the batteries is bad replace them both... the bad one WILL kill the other. It will bite you in the *** if you don't. Maybe not within the next month, but definitely within the next year.

Plenty of Great Ideas there and if anyone has another, that's what we're here for! Good Luck, let us know how it goes! Did I forget to say We Love Pictures! Oh yes ,Have some fun along the way!
