plasma800 Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 So I'm at the point of replacing my batteries. I've been doing some research into batteries, and have some mixed opinions - but a lot of posts I'm reading are old. I know technology has come a little way since then. So, if you needed 4 batteries for your bass boat today.... you had a 36v trolling motor, and a Merc opti 200 proxs... what batteries would YOU buy? Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted July 17, 2015 Super User Posted July 17, 2015 I bought my 3 blue tops in May 2005 when my boat was delivered. They're still in there. I think I'd do it again! 1 Quote
plasma800 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Wow, those blues lasted a long time. Quote
plasma800 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 What group size on those blue tops I wonder? Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted July 17, 2015 Super User Posted July 17, 2015 34M and D34M. The small ones. Quote
Al Wolbach Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I run Deka batteries but there are several good brands. A lot of people on here like the wally world batteries.... Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted July 17, 2015 Super User Posted July 17, 2015 I run 2x group 31 Everstart MAXX from walmart for my trolling motor and a group 31 AGM Blue top for my cranking/electronics. If I had to buy 4 brand new and money wasn't a concern, I'd get 4 Sears DieHard Platnium Marine 31's. I would probably have at least 1 if we had a sear's closer than an hour and a half away. Ours closed =( The biggest thing, for me, when buying a battery was local availability and a place that keeps a decent up to date inventory on them. If a battery goes bad, it's nothing to stop by and get a replacement. Quote
