I mentioned before during the trip over to Corpus Christi, TX the batteries overheated, expanding in their current position, and with a brace above the two that were together; I employed the help of the main halyard, I was able to lift the two batteries up to the brace and break the plastic between them apart, prying each out of their nesting spot. Replaced with new flooded batteries after getting a deal from Interstate Batteries (Thanks!). Setup and tested the shore charger nothing broke here! Set and tested Next Step Regulator, Ample 124 amp alternator and Link 10 monitor nothing broke here. It looks like the batteries had a short in a cell and the alternator drove them to overheat and expand, occupying the limited space in the trays. Lucky no fires or explosions.........Just one sick crew member...sorry MacGyver!
