I haven't been keeping up with fishing "stuff" in a few years, but cabin fever has me daydreaming of hitting the area reservoirs when warmer weather returns. My trolling motor battery is 4 years old and will need replacing. It's your run-of-the-mill group 27 battery from Walmart, been needing to be replaced for 2 years so you know it's been that long since I used it. I'm really good about charging them immediately upon return home, but am hoping maybe a newer technology battery style might last longer?

And maybe be a little lighter? I can probably get away with a group 24 battery as I don't push my boat great distances at high speeds. I have a lot of quality lithium battery tools around the house now - surprised we're not seeing them in deep cycle trolling motor products.
