Trolling Motor Battery

[crappie4me2]

I'm looking at getting a new battery and wanted to know what ya'll thought was the best. I have a wally world trolling deep cycle now it is 6yrs old, it starts to lose charge after a couple of hours of use. Thanks for any help.

I would buy another one from wally world if you can get 5 or 6 years out of it, why spend more?

Sounds like you got good service out of that Wallyworld battery ( 6 yrs.) I have heard a lot of guys cuss the WM batterys but I have had good luck with them just as you have. Untill I have a problem ....I am gonna stick with the. I do get the biggest size that they have and I keep them topped off with distilled water, and always plug my onboard charger up when I park the boat....I leave it plugged up untill I hook up to my truck again. I always get from 5 to 7 years out of a deep cycle battery and I use mine a lot, not just for the trolling motor but the electric anchor as well.

My buddy used to run Battery Warehouse in Greensboro. He passed away several years ago. Anyway, they sell computer backup agm batteries. I paid $30.00 for one and it has been great for over a year now. The last one I bought lasted 4 years before it started not holding a charge. I use it for trolling and to run my crappie lights.

There is only a 30 day warranty but they test it and I run it hard for the first 30 days. I have never got a bad one. They sell 2 sizes. One for $30 and one for $40. I get the $30 because it is lighter and easier to handle.

Another one of my buddies has had one for 3 years and it is still going strong. I am happy if I get 2-3 years out of a $30.00 battery.

Biggest drawback about walmart batteries is the lack of any warranty now.:rolleyes::o

Take a look at ac delco, the group 27 here is 98.00 and the group 30 is 125.00
Just looked and mine are 5 years old and still run all day, but I think I will change to be on the safe side.

I bought 2 new batteries at the Wal Mart I frequent earlier this year. My reciept has a warranty on it and the battery also has a warranty printed on the label. I checked with the manager and he wasnt aware some had stopped but as long as it says it on the battery and the receipt, the warranty is good.

Same here, I bought two a month or so ago, and made sure the about the warranty. I have never had problems with Wal Mart batteries, I have been buying them forever.

Hi I am not trying to bardge in on your parade but I am one that has had nothing but problems with these yellow Neverstart batteries and wont buy another one. I havnt really had any issues with deep cycle nessessarly but just the yellow car batteries in general. I own alot of vehicles and boats and go through alot of batteries, Well the last one went before the warrenty expired THANKFULLY! Usually I have known them to go about a month after the warrenty. the last one was a daily driver also it isnt like it sat around. When I took the battery back Wal-Mart told me to take the battery back to the automotive department so they can test it and make sure its no good, so I do, It took those yahoos about 20 min to get the key to get the tool to be able to test the thing " like it wasnt bad or somthing" finally they came to the conclution that it was no good. This was by no means the only battery from there I was not happy about. Now they are taking the warrenty away? What? They know there crap! I will spend the extra $20.00-$40.00 and buy AC/Delco for now on, alot of others arnt bad either I like AC/Delco, Interstate,Die Hard,Deka,Optima, to name a few, just dont like the Neverstart or Neverlast batteries sorry guys just my 2 cents
