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!!!
