Battery level

[NEDBETTY]

Hello
Is there an easier way to check and fill batteries in our 2014- CB 31
How often do you need to fill in a climate like NE or NW, 1 x a season?
Thanks!!!

You can use one of these. It works great. Gansett Ranger uses it and never had a complaint. https://www.rvupgradestore.com/Flow...cz4PLPL3xxpRj1fRdKyrBtcwKOtEOplhoC6qIQAvD_BwE
I am also assuming that you have flooded batteries since these are the only ones that can be filled.

Are The batteries on a CB 31 2014
12 volt?
Do you know if it’s four or six batteries? I’m not in possession of the boat right now to check
Thanks very much

My 2014 30ft uses 6 AGM batteries. These are 12V and sealed, no need to add water.

They are 12 volt. There are probably four house batteries, one engine start battery, and one thruster battery. Since it's a used boat, the previous owner could have made changes. Many Ranger Tug owners have upgraded to AGM batteries which don't need filling. Your boat may have them. Also, if they are the original batteries, it may be time to replace them.

I use AGM, no need to fill and longer life.
