Location: Greenfield, WI | I use Optima Batteries. The cost per battery is double the cost of conventional deep cycle. However, I also have 4 full years use out of it, and it is still going strong. I get a full three days of trolling motor use on one charge, which was much greater duration than I ever had with conventional deep cycle batteries that were double the physical size. Prior batteries would last a maximum of 18 months of use.
The Optima Batteries can be topped off with no sign of loss of capasity. They can be drawn down to zero charge, froze, mounted upside down or on its side, and charged up again with no detrimental effects.
The battery is the size of a 6 pack of Malt Liquor cans.
They are available through Batteries Plus, a national franchise.
Good Luck! |
