Subject: Re: Cold weather battery storrage

I average about 3 days a week. Living on the lake and having my boat on a lift, pretty easy to go out whenever I feel like it. My last trolling motor batteries were cheap fleet farm and they lasted six years. But, I wonder if the key is what kind of use they get as opposed to frequency. If the wind is really kicking, I seldom go out. Someone fishing in heavy winds is going to put more stress on the batteries I would think.
I actually was surprised at the age of my batteries when I replaced this spring after noticing them wearing down after a relatively short day of fishing. I thought 3, maybe 4 years but the date of sale showed otherwise.
