Trolling motor battery decision

[jpm537]

Just to confirm....I am looking to purchase some trolling motor batteries for the first time and I want to confirm what I have been reading. I am better off buying deep cycle batteries for my trolling motor. I have two trolling motor batteries (both died over the winter) and a seperate starting battery. Thanks

Defiantly deep cycle for trolling motor, I run another deep cycle for my big motor also because it does not have charging capablity and all my other accessories run of it also

I have good luck out of walmart batteries , no haggle replacment if needed. Main thing is I plug them up as soon as I get home and unplug when charged.I plug them up the night before a trip and have had good luck. I used to leave my onboards plugged up continuous but lost a bank out of a charger and had a newer battery go bad quick.

I use nothing but Superlex batteries. They are heavier which means more lead which means longer use time and longer life. Ky Battery Outlet sells them and the guy has the best prices, even better than Wally World. Also, these batteries are made in KY. I fish a lot and 4 yrs is not uncommon for my deep cycles. IMO these batteries are the best.

Type in trolling motor batteries in the search box below the big at at the top of the forum. You will find a lot.

I bought acDelco based on some posts on here four or five years ago. A four year battery is real food for me. I just bought two more. I get them at a KOI parts distributer in louisville. . About $115. Try get just a deep cycle as opposed to a starting/deep cycle combo.
