Gone Fishing Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 My batteries went dead yesterday. I need to replace them and would like some suggestions, prices, or warranty info. thanks
CMAC Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Pro-guides is what i purchased. They are strong and very affordable. Made here local and battery outfitters is run mostly by fisherman so they understand our needs.
Champ188 Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 I use the 225-amp Pro Guides and love them.
Dutch Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 There are lots of good batteries around. Just be sure you get somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 reserve amps and keep them well maintained. I have run many brands and haven't seen much difference in their performance. I have been running Exides for 3 years now and they still go all day long.
Gone Fishing Posted December 12, 2010 Author Posted December 12, 2010 On the ProGuide website they show some other battery's like Trojan. Do you guys use the regular ProGuide name or one of there other ones.
Martin Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Well now that you asked.......I personally, like the Trojans better then anything I've used in years....I had a Trojan cranking battery finally go south this year. It came in the boat in 2003... It cranked the big motor, it cranked the 9.9 kicker motor, ran 2 large Lowrance color depthfinders, both wirh GPS, and the lights and bilge pump.. It went 7 seasons. It wasn't a huge battery either. It didn't even fill up the battery tray that came attached to the floor of the battery area. I do hesitate to back anybodies product nowdays... If the Pro_guides are made locally, might be the ticket ...?
Gone Fishing Posted December 13, 2010 Author Posted December 13, 2010 It doesn't show the prices on the website between the two. Anyone have any ideas on price on the series 29 TM batteries for each.
Champ188 Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 http://www.batteryoutfitters.com/ Doesn't give prices but gives all store locations, hours and phone numbers.
Dutch Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Pro-guides is what i purchased. They are strong and very affordable. Made here local and battery outfitters is run mostly by fisherman so they understand our needs. What company is it that makes them locally? Is it North Star?
CMAC Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 I may have overstated locally made, in all probability batteries like many other things likely come from one or two suppliers. I meant that with them being local their service is very good and they take good care of fisherman. Sorry. :-)
