Thread: Trolling Battery's

I got four years out of the Maxx marine group 29 batteries from Wal Mart.

I bought a stowaway battery back when they first came out from wal mart they were good back then as it lasted for over 5 or 6 years. It is unusual now to get half that many years from a well used trolling motor(marine) battery now days. Not to even talk about the lawn mower batteries not lasting from one season to the other. And another thing is why do car and truck batteries have a 5-6 year warranty and others like marine,lawn,and atv batteries only a 1-2 year warranty. I think they have a device in batteries that know when the warranty goes out and when you are in a bind and need them to work they just go dead. Good for battery sales bad for the buyer$$$$.

Here is a picture of a Stowaway battery like I had it even had a little glass on the top that indicated the battery charge. If the indicator was green good to go if red needed charging. I don't even know if they still make these as our wal mart stopped selling them years ago.
