    Did you flip the AC/DC switch in the back?

    Yep. I hooked up the 12v and it went POP! I think it blew a cap.

    I was wondering what would be the reasonable life span of a set of batteries in my 2001 century?
    Installed all new from T/A about 4 years ago and I noticed now that they aren't cranking like they were.....
    Wondering if it's time to invest in 8 more.
    Thanks

    Battery life, hard to say, it varies...you could have just one bad battery, that's draining the rest of them. I would have each of them tested before I replaced them all.
