I have a 24 volt 65 lb. thrust minn-kota auto pilot that I use to pull crank baits. I love pulling the cranks with the auto pilot because it is relaxing and productive at the same time. I can get up and move about the boat and not have to worry about turning in a circle and tangling while catching or re-tying or what-ever needs done.

With all that being said I am in need of new batteries and I am open to suggestions from those with knowledge on the subject especially those who troll cranks for extended periods using the electric motor. Let me know what is both good and bad. I am currently using the Duralasts and have gotten about 1.5 years so far but they are dying fast. It now takes as long or longer to charge than I am able to spend fishing.
Thanks, JayW
