I have 2 '08 GTI 130s that are new to me this year. They're in good shape with about 175 hr on each. The previous owner put new NAPA Legend Glass mat batteries in them last summer(400CCA). Both machines labor to turn over, but one more than the other one. Last week the other one just barely started, and did not restart after it was shut off. I don't have much in the way of diagnostic or testing equipment at camp, so I put it on a 10a charger and after a bit it started. In the morning I got my hands on a volt meter and it read 12.8, but I didn't have a load tester, and I just figured was falling on its face when a load was applied, so I just went to NAPA and bought a new one. This did not fix a thing! Any one have any idea what could make this start so hard? There are no lights on when its running and it runs great!
