Hey Salmo, how old is the battery in question? If it is approaching the four-year mark it's about time... Cold weather is usually the telling time for elderly wet cells. The bottom line: if you are concerned enough about the battery to ask about it, replace it. One last thought, dual batts on a Perko disconnect switch: the cheapest insurance you will ever buy.
P.S. Any piece of gear that costs me a fish or day on the water gets replaced. Period.
