After struggling with standard wet-cell batteries in my boat (trolling motor), I decided to bite the bullet. I bought two VMAX tanks AGM batteries ($250/each).
I've never had trouble since. I can run my trolling motor all day with confidence. And I never check water levels anymore.
I currently keep my boat in a storage unit from November to February. There is no power or heat in the unit. I pull my batteries and keep them in my basement storage room on a shelf. I plug them into the charger and leave them until I'm ready to put them back in the boat and go fishing.
Once the new garage is built, with power, I'll probably keep them in the boat and just keep them charged during the off-months.
