Thanks Gene, I'd just always assumed the bigger the battery the better it would hold up....The past couple weeks my boat has barely started at the end of the tourny and thats with leaving the bigger Hbird turned off all day so it's time for a new one....I won't really ever get a chance to make it over to Russell Springs during the week because of work....I'm not real sure if I'll get to fish the one next week or not, but I think we might be leading the total weight thing so I may have to
