I'm looking for two deep cycle batteries. Please let me know what you have or if you know where I can find a good deal.

Thank you,

Some things I just have to buy new and batteries are one of them...
Sears used to have pretty good deals on deep cycle batteries.

Kibbeys in Puyallup, if you lived closer. Little hole in the wall place by the River on Main St.

Going 24v? You'll have lots of power... and LOTS of weight.

Like said above,buy new.Good luck,

Do not buy used!

Shop around your local area and buy a good charger also.

You can buy the best deep cycle batteries made, but if you dont charge them properly, they will not last.

Yep, I'd check Costco (or maybe Wally World)
At least Group 27 size.....I'm thinking about $75 each. This is the size that completely fills one of those common battery boxes.
I wouldn't mess with the smaller group 24 size for your application.

Johnson Controls makes many of the common brands you'll see.
Look at specs, warranty, weight. Heavier is generally better, unfortunately.

I looked at the batteries at Wallmart tonight. The Everstart deep cycle battery that was around $70.00 had specs of about 720 CA and 115 AH. (can't remember exact specs) I'd assume a couple of these should do the trick for the time being. I'm not expecting them to last too long so I'm not worried about the quality of the batteries themselves right now. I'd be happy if I could get 4 or 5 hours out of them per day on the water with moderate use of the trolling motor.

Drew

Those are good specs.
Free replacement during first year ?

Check into getting a rectifier for your trolling motor. No more dead batteries.

Not sure. I believe so since it's walmart. You can pretty much buy a bag of chips there, eat them all, and return the bag for your money there. haha. Batteries may be a different story though.

Drew

Can you elaborate on the rectifier? does minnkota make them or are they pretty universal?

Drew

Oh. Not sure about a Minnkota. Probably not. A rectifier will send current back to the battery (changes AC to DC I believe) from the motor keeping the battery charged. I often run into people who don't know it's on additional accessory you can purchase on many kicker motors.

I'll look into that. Thanks for the heads up.

Drew

If this is for your db, it won't work. I believe he is talking about using your gas motor to recharge your batteries. No gas motor = no recharging.

yeah, if you figure out how to charge a battery with the same electric motor thats running off that battery so it will never die, i want in on your prize money. thanks

Did some one sayRectom/Spinktor charger????.Good luck,
