batteries

[TN crappie hunter]

Just put in 2 new Trojan 1275 31 series deep cycle flooded. It was tough getting them in I had to turn them on there side to get them between the gas tank and compartment hole especially weighing 85# each. I wanted the Sam's Duracell AGM's but I can get the Trojans for $150 and they have a reserve capacity of 280 minutes @ 25 amps. I guess we will see how they work when trolling all day.
Anyone use these? The gentleman that owns the golf cart center told me he sells them to a lot of people for trolling batteries.

You'd expect they would since normal retail is 2 to 3 times what the Everstart is. If everybody could get the 1275 for $150, there would be no other batteries on the market.

The most important spec when comparing deep-cycle batteries is weight. You can't fudge the weight of a battery or add anything that increases the weight as much as lead to save money. Weight is always a reliable indicator of higher capacity. The Trojan weighs about 23 pounds more than the Everstart. You'd expect that 23 extra pounds to give you about 75 more minutes RC and that's pretty well what you get.

The Duracell Ultra SLIGC12V at Batteries Plus is probably the very same battery as the Trojan. Might be more convenient for some people to find those.

I paid 155 for mine
I went through 4 wallys in just over 2 years trolling cranks.

I try to buy where ever the warranty is best/easiest to return. If they last as long as the warranty says...they did their job. Then buy more. Lemons in every make and model at some point.

Auto zone AGM batteries are made in the same plant as the optima's. Definitely a price break between the two, and I have not had any issue with them in the past.
The walmart batteries used to be solid batteries up till about 6 or 7 years ago and then they went to crap. Stay away....

Remember, you get out what you put into them......
