There is a place here in Milwaukee where I have bought my trolling motor batteries for my entire boating life. Right now I have 2-150amp deep cycle trolling motor batteries rigged parallel. I replaced the batteries last fall after the first 2 that I bought from them couldn't hold a decent charge. That was 9 years ago. I guess having to buy batteries every 9 years isn't a bad deal, and the 2 of them together cost less than an Optima. I couldn't believe that they want $200 for a starting battery. I got a starting battery for $50. I know that all of the pros like to run them, but they don't have to pay for them.
