ylomnstr Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Hi guys. I have an old marine battery that seems to be dying. I'm looking for a new one to run my 28lb Minkota trolling motor on my 10 foot bass raider pontoon boat. Any suggestions on which one to get without spending hundreds? Also, I use a basic battery tender on it. Is there something I should get that will increase the life of the battery like a maintainer, more than just one of those batter tenders? Thanks. Quote
LonnieP Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Walmart group 29 marine battery is a good one. A little over a 100 bucks 1 Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted July 25, 2018 Super User Posted July 25, 2018 Only buy a deep cycle battery not a cranking battery. The amount of time you get to spend using the trolling motor is directly related to the Reserve Capacity of the battery. The larger the RC number the longer it will hold up during the day. Quote

Super User Choporoz Posted July 26, 2018 Super User Posted July 26, 2018 I switched from Walmart to Interstate a couple years ago and couldn't be happier. Quote
