The current threads about batteries got me thinking. I have an 07 MC X45. Stock set up electrically speaking. I have to replace one of these batteries probably on average every season. I have replaced the battery with an equivalent to the stock batteries which says 24M on the top of them The ones I have in there now are made by Xtreme and they are labeled as a marine starting battery. This is what they gave me when I take one in to have it replaced by Batteries Plus. Is this bad luck, bad habits, or cheap batteries. A friend tells me it's due to the constant hard jolts of hitting double ups that leads to their short life spans. I know when one is going bad, because it gets warm and starts to stink super bad. I had my alternator checked and the mechanic says it tests out fine...any ideas? I don't know anything about batteries, alternators, etc.
