SDS100 high capacity battery

[OfficerJim]

I love my SDS100, had it for a couple years now. I purchased 3 high capacity batteries with the external charger, when I first got them I would maybe go through 2 during a full fishing day on the boat, (10-12 hours) then slowly after a short period of time all 3, now I can't go an entire fishing trip with all 3, they all die after about 6 hours on the water, is this normal? do they really deteriorate that fast over a short period of time? for what I paid for these things they shouldn't.

As with any rechargeable battery, the more often you recharge it the quicker they lose the longevity of charge. It also depends on the weather, heat and cold can effect length of how long they last. Combining the two can be a problem.
