I am often amazed at how much trouble folks seem to have with trolling motor batteries. I usually get at least 8 (yes EIGHT) years out of mine and they are from Walmart (and should you have a problem, they will exchange it). My secret, at least what work for me is that I CHARGE them every time I use them...ALWAYS! No matter how little they were used on an outing...
Ditto! Spot on advice......
If I have to replace one, I replace both....if you only replace one, the old "good" battery, now is the weaker battery. It seems counter intuitive that the weak battery makes the new battery work harder and fail sooner. But, that's the physic's of connecting batteries in series and only replacing one.
Have fun!
