Curious if anyone has insight on my issue below. Thanks in advance.

I have a 55 lb thrust bow mount MinnKota. When I bought the boat, it had two 12v Optima blue batteries. They were wired in cycle and worked great! Worked for three years.

This spring, they were dead and I replaced with two 12v batteries from wal-mart. I wired up in cycle (like this: http://www.louisianasportsman.com/pics/p1233675787.jpg). I charge the batteries full and the motor works excellent for about 10 minutes...then very rapidly loses all charge and they are dead.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?
