group 27 batteries help

i have group 27 batteries [interstate] for 24 volt trolling motor min kota fortrex 80lb in a z8 nitro. batteries was dead in apr 4 hours pulling cranks maybe less. how long would group 30 batteries last or what do you think the difference would be? what brand of battery? i read the stickys but couldnt find my answer. also have group 24 for a starting battery [250 pro] and if i run the recirc pumps very long ill be jump starting motor do you think starter battery needs to be group 30 also? thanks in advance. joe

USBattery makes a dang good 31 series, they are pricey but they will last. A WalMart 29 series will do for a cranking batt and shouldnt need jumping off during the day of fishing.
Good luck.

thanks guys still looking for price. how much longer you think they will last compared to group 27?

If you goto the Group 31 interstate they will have the highest amp hr rating but expensive. From everything I have read you could expect to get 6 to 8 hrs of pulling cranks. I'm surprised you got 4 out of those 27's pulling a boat that big. Sounds like you need a 27 for cranking and minimum 29 or 31 for trolling motor. Walmart has best price/ warrant on 29's and they hold up pretty good. Like Rees said if you want really good those US Battery are tough to beat.

thanks cray think ill take one of my 27 and use it for starting and buy two 31 for trolling motor

29 and 31 are the same size for all practical purposes. For maximum run time, go with the highest RC you can find. In 29/31 you should be able to get 205 to 210 minute RC easily. Best deal is the Everstart Maxx 29. Best battery is the Trojan SCS-225 at 225 minutes RC.

Depending on which 27 you have now, you have 160 to 180 minute RC now.

I just picked up my 12v US XC battery. The guy at Battery Sales and Service in Memphis said this is the baddest battery comparable to a group 31 size available. It is slightly taller than a group 31 that might present a problem for some compartments. They are designed to run in a series for 48volt golf carts but make a great marine battery too. The reserve capacity is 292 amp/hr which blows the competition away including the trojans. I paid 131+tax and core charge. I hope to try it out this weekend pulling cranks.

Warbird, SAMs has them if you have one close but they are higher. Checked them here yesterday about 168. Try finding a battery wholesaler some where closer to you they will have beter prices and some times they have blems with same warranty. They wouldn't fit in my compartment because of height.

sams has which one us? there is a sams apr40 miles
