There is no substitute for weight when it comes to battery capacity.

Downsides to the 8V batteries is that your charger choices will be limited. A downside to both the 6 and 8V batteries is that if one fails on you, you will probably be shut down for a few days waiting for a replacement.

on the two 12 volt what brand battery would you run or is there any diffidence? Had a guy explain it to me once but refresh me if trolling batteries are run down very weak only 10% left how long to charge them? My minn kota charger took 4 days but I hooked up big charger also next time and lot quicker. A charger is like 45amps per hour right? 1000 amp barberry take roughly 21 hours to charge and twice as long for two batteries?
