Location: MN | Was @ Gander Mountain today and they have a sale on Minnkota Batteries.
I a looking for a new trolling motor battery.
I am looking at and would like opinions on which one to get and why?
Both are Group 27 size.
MK18 - 55 lbs, 575 cold cranking, 700 marine cranking, 160 reserve capacity, 95 amp hrs....
MK20 - 52 lbs, 500 cold cranking, 625 marine cranking, 180 reserve capacity, 105 amp hrs....
My current battery, 3 years old is a Northern. While it has been tested and they say it is OK, I do not get more than 4 hrs in heavy wind when using the trolling motor. It is rated @ 875 marine cranking and 170 reserve capacity.
This sale is real good and I can save some cash, but are these Minnkota's batteries Really that good as they say? For $60, it is a good deal....
Let me know which of the 2 you would get and which one should offer greater time on the water...
Thanks
