Hi,
I bought my boat 6 years ago and my OEM deep cycle batterie are not as good as they used too. I'm planning on changing them for next spring. I currently have a 17' footer aluminium with a 115 Yamaha. I have a Minn Kota Power Drive 2 55lbs that is set up with 2 batterie in serie.

I would like to have your opinion or experience with any deep cycle batterie, brand (Optima, Costco, AGM) , size (24,27,31) . I know there is more then just the batterie brand. The way you take care of your batterie will also impact the life longivity. I would also take some tips on how to take care of the deep cycle batterie, how long should I charge it? should I wait until it's completely dead before recharging?

Any tips are appreciated.
thanks.
