Dutch Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 My 5 year old Optimas are starting to show signs of weakening. The Pro Guide 31 has the same warranty and a lot more RC. I haven't had a set of them since flooded cells a year ago. Who’s using them or have knowledge about them?
semble Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Tried to pick some up local (STL) last week but they were out. Supposed to be in this week.
Dutch Posted March 16, 2021 Author Posted March 16, 2021 I’m having 3 group 31 agm 245 rc installed Thursday. snagged in outlet 3 and semble 2
semble Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Picked mine up last Thursday, too. Got 2 Pro Guide AGM Group 31. Fished today with them for the first time. Held the boat in heavy current all morning. Checked voltage when I got home and was still over 12.6v on both batteries. First impressions were great, hope they hold up to my abuse. snagged in outlet 3 1
Dutch Posted March 25, 2021 Author Posted March 25, 2021 I fished mine for 5 hours cranking and they were on full charge in an hour after I got home. dtrs5kprs 1
curtisce Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 my trolling batteries were on their 4th season so needed to get replaced. My new livescope was eating up a Proguide 27 so at the advice of a friend I went to Sam's and got AGMs A 31 for the cranking battery. He said get Diehard, I ended up with Duracell but it took a full days use 11 hours on the water and stayed over 12v . snagged in outlet 3 1 The answer may not lie at the bottom of a glass, but you should always check
Dutch Posted April 20, 2021 Author Posted April 20, 2021 These batteries keep impressing me. Yesterday I fished into the wind for 5 hours. Most of the time the trolling motor was on 4 or 5 speed. I used 10 crossing coves. I checked them after 2 hours on the charger and all lights were green. I’ve never had any that would recharge so quickly. Maybe it has something to do with the 245 rc. nomolites and dtrs5kprs 2
