| The AP 55 is a 12volt model, so you must have your batteries connected in parallel. Running two batteries in parallel nearly triple the run time.
As for new batteries, now I'd go with AGM. Lots of sources out there, and get 31's if they will fit. I have used wetCell batteries with excellent results until I sold my last boat, so I wouldn't shy away from them.
I'm not sold on the spiral cell batteries yet. they just don't seem to have the reserve capacity of the lead acid batteries.
I recommend a good onboard charger. Minn Kota, Guest, Dual Pro, all make great chargers. Go with a 3 bank, and keep your cranking battery maintained, too. Always charge after every use. Heck, I plugged mine in after every outing, and kept them plugged in year round. | |
