Bass Boat Batteries..which Brand?

The sponsored tournamant Pro's are touting the Lithium Ion marine batteries saying they don't get weak with use during the day and last 2000 charge/discharge cycles and weigh 50 lbs. less than lead-acid.

Then you read where they cost $1200.00 apiece !!! Riiight !! Only if someone else is footing the bill. Sounds like a new marine theft target.

I'm a big fan of Interstate batteries. They're the best I've found for the $$$, long lasting too.

I have a 900 acre lake (pond) by my house that is electric only. I have a Nitro Z9 and a 36 v Minn Kota. I can lap the lake twice before a noticable decline in power. For the money, Interstate is best bang for the buck.

I have had good luck with deep cycle batteries from walmart. I am running two in my truck right now from 2008(both originaly powered a trolling motor) and the trolling battery in my riverboat is from '09. I wouldn't run a cranking battery for the motor, if a deep cycle will start a 7.3L powerstroke it will start a 200hp merc.
