Trolling motor battery question

[dubob]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]If your wallet will take it, AGM is absolutely the best way to go. I bought two [url "https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B010GLSXCO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]ACDelco M24AGM[/url] (80AH, weigh 43 lbs each) batteries for my 70lb thrust, 24VDC Minn Kota from Amazon Prime last year. They were on sale back then for $146.56 delivered to my door. Today they are listed at $194.38. Yep; pricey. And worth every penny.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]I use them 100% to steer my boat while trolling and they run about 6 1/2 to 8 hours depending on winds on any given day. Running the electric motor at 4 or less and I get up to 8. At higher run speeds (5, 6, 7) they run out of juice quicker. Ive had AGM's running electric trolling motors in the past last 7 years. I never got more than about 4 years max out of lead acid batteries.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]I'm a believer; AGM is the BEST way to go. It's also the most expensive way to go, so let your wallet or you 'finance manager' be your guide. [][/size][/#800000][/font][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]
