Yes, from 2 blades to 3. Works great for me.

Academy sports has the group 31 for right around $100. dollars. I have group 29 on my champion and 80 lb ulterra and can get up to 8 hrs trolling abs 5 hrs pulling cranks. I have a 36 volt ulterra on my pontoon and have not tried it yet to find out how long it will last.

DuraCell group 31 deep cycle.....Sams Club best price I have found....Bought some two months ago 100 bucks ea.

The last few Wally World batteries ive bought died in about a year.
And I do keep them on a good charging system.
I have a 55# thrust MK (manual) 12 v on a 1720 Key West, and unless the wind is strong it will outlast me.
They sometimes die without much warning, so I keep an extra on board with a set of jumpers.

I have a 36v 101lb Minn Kota and I can fish all weekend without charging. My first trip with this setup I bass fished the swamps in Okeechobee from sun up to sun down and at the end of the day I had 12.5 volts on all 3 batteries...
