Thread: Trolling motor battery question?

I think Doublegobble00 has done the most reasearch of anybody on batteries, I would send him a PM.

That's where I got my info from, ended up getting the USABattery brand. They have a little more in the specs department but not much. I cranked at Sardis when we had fall camp in that wind for 6 hours solid and had juice to spare. 18ft glass boat with a 200 Merc on it, 55 pound thrust Minn Kota with two batteries in series. I have been nuttin but happy with em, wont be anything else in my boat for now.

That's some amazing service for a 12volt system.

Yeah, i want to get me a big boy trolling motor but long as this one is pulling the way it is it gets to keep its seat in the boat. If I add a "kicker" trolling motor on the back I can pull cranks all day litterally. Just cant justify the other trolling motor just yet. Wouldn't mind finding me a hull to put my merc on tho.Thumbs Up

Trojan T 1275s or the ones ree guide got... They have highest reserve value I have seen in 12 volt battery

US Battery 12v Golf Cart Batteries are the stuff. 292 amp/hrs. More than any I've tried. I sell em for (PM me). Lots less than the 31 Optima Blue or the Trojans 1275.

I've yet to pull the US batteries even close to down with my 80lb Terrova. Don't have exact scientific data though. LOL

BTW, I sell the Optimas, and the Trojans as well. PM me if you need a price.
