Trolling and fish finder battery

[SkunkedAgain]

What you need to look for is the amp-hour rating on the battery. The higher that number is, the longer the battery will last on each charge. As far as cheap batteries go, good luck, they are all pretty expensive lately... I use a deep cycle size 24 battery that usually works fine for all of my trips... I typically only go half days though... The size 27's will usually last longer, but you pay a weight penalty with them... If you have the bucks to spend those new lithium batteries are much lighter, but wow they are out of my financial reach... The gell cells sound good on paper, but the higher price and relatively similar numbers in performance sends me back to the lead acid batteries and I found a pretty good deal at Sam's Club on my last battery. It has been a good one and lasted a long time... Hope that didn't just jinx it.... I bought a prior set at WalMart, they looked really good, but they were junk, didn't even get 3 years out of those... Well good luck, hope you find a good one... Later J
