Trolling motor batteries and onboard charger

Well looks like I am going to need new trolling batteries, the others are 5 years old and went kaput this weekend after 30 min
I jave a promariner charger 2 bank on the 24 volt system that lools like its leaking and will also need to be replaced, joy...
I'm thinking of AGM instead of wet cell.. Anyone have a recommendation?
As for charger, should I stick with the pro mariner? Go with minnkota or genius??
While I'm at it I think ill stick another 2 bank charger on the crank and electronics battery in the back

I bought a Guest three bank battery charger ten years ago and still going strong, before that I had a Bass Pro brand charger at it didn't last a year and a half.

I have a Min Kota on board three bank charger 4 years old and still going.

NoCo genius and lead acid from Walmart.

I’ve had a Pro Mariner 20 amp 2 bank charger now, 4-5 yrs with no problems,,3 months ago,,switched it to charge AGM batteries and it works perfect charging 2-100 amp Ionic lithiums to 100% charged. I have had good results with it. You might give them a call.

My vote is Dual Pro my 3 bank is 20 years old and never a glitch.

Any recommendations on battery brand for Group 31 AGM? I've been trying to look at reviews, articles, etc.. it's almost overload.. I know the people on this forum are knowledgeable and straight forward.

I’ve often seen the Duracell group 31 AGM deep cycle recommended. Sam’s Club used to have the best price but it appears out of stock. Batteries Plus has them and you can get 10% off if you buy online and pick up in store. It’s what I’ll buy next time I need TM batteries. Lots of threads online discussing them if you Google around.

They are manufactured by East Penn who also makes good/great batteries under the Deka brand. The last time I looked at Cabela’s marine batteries They were manufactured by East Penn as well.

I went thru 2 pro mariner 3 bank 30 amp chargers in about 8 years. I went with a 3 bank 30 amp Minn Koto 4/5 years ago and so far so good. Cannot help on the AGM batts cause Ive never went that route. I run the biggest Walmart marine batts I can get (group 31).

I have two of the Duracell Group 31 AGM batteries for my trolling motor. They are currently 5 years old and I can still stay out all day. I have not had any issues out of them. I will buy the same thing again when they go bad. For the money I spent I have been very satisfied with these batteries.
