Trogan make a great battery.IMO

Generally, gel and AGM batteries have about 20% less capacity, cost about two times more, and have a shorter cycle life than comparable flooded lead acid batteries.(thats not what we want for a trolling motor) However, Gel and AGM batteries do not need watering,(so what, maybe water'em once every few years) are safer (no acid spilling out),(been running flooded for years and aint spilling nothing) can be placed in a variety of positions,(mine sit in the back on a tray, who cares) have a slower self-discharge characteristic,true and are more efficient in charging and discharging than flooded batteries. Gel batteries NOT, need special charger, no benefits-AGM Yes Gel batteries are more suitable for deep cycling applications whereas AGM batteries are more for light cycling and engine-starting applications.

....................

you looking for a cranking or trolling battery?

Ive been using everstart marine from wal mart since I have owned a boat so for year and years lol. And I love them never ever have a problem and since I do allot of night fishing ( running lights and general electronics for hours and hours my battery never fails.
Hope this helps

Hello, I noticed your conversation involving our batteries and wanted to offer some assistance. As Tommy suggested in the frequency with which he trades out boats, he is a tournament angler sponsored by many companies and we are one of them. First and foremost, the quality of our batteries has never been better. Jig rig's suggestion that another brand can offer up to four times the reserve capacity of our batteries is very misleading. Every manufacturer looks for a balance between cranking amps and reserve capacity, with some trade-off for one versus the other, but I have yet to come across a manufacturer that can defy the laws of physics and cram four times as much energy into the same space (group size) we're using for our batteries. For tournament anglers, weight is also a concern for accessing shallow areas, so some anglers like to compare reserve capacity and cranking amps per pound.

If someone is going to compare batteries, I would encourage them (as some here have done) to pick a group size, post the cranking amps, reserve capacity, warranty coverage and price. Did you know some battery companies can reduce or eliminate your warranty coverage if you discharge your battery below a minimum voltage level or use your batteries in an environment that exceeds a certain temperature? Both are likely to happen in any fishing application located in the continental US. We don't do that with our warranty coverage and it looks like links to manufacturer sites here are prohibited, but our warranty is easy to find on our site. skiptomylu is also correct that we will extend warranty coverage by an additional year if our Digital 1200 is purchased with the battery from us.

While some folks lump gel and AGM batteries into the same group, they are different technologies with different characteristics. We are owned by Johnson Controls, which has produced hundreds of millions of batteries, both flooded and AGM. With that background, we state clearly in our claims that our batteries can last up to twice as long as a traditional flooded battery, but the bottom line for battery life regardless of brand or manufacturer, is proper voltage maintenance. Whenever any battery is discharged below 12.4 volts and left sitting in that state, sulfation begins to form in the battery, which diminishes both capacity and lifespan. That makes a quality battery maintenance device an excellent investment for any battery doesn't see regular use. Keep your batteries fully-charged (about 13.0-13.2 volts for our BlueTop batteries) and you will maximize their lifespan, regardless of who makes them or what label is put on them.

Oh no.......discussion looming about tech stuff and NOT sacalait......

I put three Optima D34's in my boat over six years ago and literally have not touched them since! I keep the charger on them at all times and fish most weekends.....They run my MinnKota Terrova on a 20 ft glass Triton and I have never run out of power during a full day of trolling. I have been gone fishing a whole weekend where it was not convenient to charge and they have lasted both day's. When I need more batteries they will be Optima's....Put them in your boat and forget 'em! Take worrying about your batteries out of the equation come tourney time!!!

OK guys/gals I do appreciate all the comments and views. Fishervet, I apologize for putting this here instead of the off topic but I needed a battery before the Darbonne gathering and I knew I would get better responses here. Again I apologize. I did decide to go with the Optima blue top and will see how it works out. Bruce feel free to move this to the off topic so as not to upset anyone.

Thanks again for all of the replys.
