Deep Cycle trolling motor battery help

Trolling motor battery needs replaced. Been checking different stores and reviews vary. What do you fisherman use on your boats?

X2 on the AGM, but I prefer the Group 30

Save your money and buy fleet farm brand. I’ve tried a lot of different batteries and now I’m back to fleet farm I got five years out of my last set. The agms might last a little longer but at twice the cost is it worth it.

Reviews vary? Imagine that. You’ll get the same thing here. I use Fleet Farm, Wal-Mart, whatever. I don’t spend more than I have to on batteries and take good care of them, summer and winter. Professionals and tournament fishermen probably lean more toward the high end batteries. Buy the largest one you can fit in the battery compartment.

The AGM’s are IMHO worth every penny

Here are just a few things I’ve found as benefits of AGM’s/Wet cell

1. No maintenance.

2. No spilling

3. No need to remove for the winter.

4. Long life.

5. Lot’s of power.

6. Takes less time to charge.

7. Don’t have to charge as often.

8. No hazardous gasses being vented into your battery compartment.

Thanks for the replys and input. Getting one this week so I can be ready for the weekend.

A well known river guide once told me if you are spending more than $100 on a battery, you are wasting money. I take that to heart as guys like him use batteries more than we can imagine.

I am a huge fan of proper maintenance. Bad maintenance will kill an expensive battery just as quick as a cheap battery, and vice versa. Fleet Farm, Wal-Mart, Interstate are all fine.

I know you guys are right about buying the biggest battery that will fit into my compartment. I went too small last time.

I’ve had an everstart for over 5 yrs. My popup camper I just bought has a fleet farm…
