dblades Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 What is everyone using for lead acid batteries now? Seems Pro-Guide does not have anything DC other than 27's, without going AGM which my old Mercury won't handle. Duracells are cheap but don't have the capacity of the Pro-Guides. I had no luck trying Walmart battteries. Need at least three DC's for the 36V trolling motor. Currently running three Pro Guide 27's but least one is bad after eight years.

Members slowbait Posted March 8, 2019 Members Share Posted March 8, 2019 If you got eight years out of them I would stay with them. Never had any brand last that long. Ham and Seth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Rapp Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 this topic is covered endlessly over on bbc. The consensus seems to be just get the Everstarts from Walmart, then if one goes bad you can usually exchange it pretty easily. I have never had one go bad, but after 3 years I swap them out no matter what just to be safe. liphunter, Ham, snagged in outlet 3 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trolling motor went dead faster than any I've used. Looks like group 29/31 lead batteries are on the way out, very few available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liphunter Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I have been using Interstate Marine. I don't know there ranking compared to others. But like other people said. If I get 3 good years out of a boat battery. I'm happy. Ham 1 Luck is where preparation meets opportunity...... Or you could just flip a coin???

They were still working well, but I figured I'd just be proactive and replace them since I fish almost every weekend and I'd more than got my moneys worth. shark bait and Daryk Campbell Sr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
