[quote Deepwateroff]I can't seem to go more than about 4 hours on my deep cell battery with my trolling motor on my inflatable pontoon boat. Is this normal?[/quote]
Lots of factors involved. I have a Cabelas AGM Group 24, and IMO the best battery for My pontoon use that I have had so far. Yes a little more money for them then Costco, Good Sam, and Walmat deep cycle batteries, have had Costco .
I run a 40 thrust Motorguide Variable speed motor on a 9' pontoon boat. I have yet to run it down all the way, about six hours is my max on use. I just troll with it , hardly ever run it faster then trolling .
Biggest deal for me is the handling of a portable battery for pontoon use, it's having a sealed battery, no maintenance. I personally don't want a battery that I am moving around for use that has the potential of spilling acid.
My battery is in its fourth season, used it friday, and it was as strong as its always been. Only ran it for 5 hours, and still going strong. Cabelas has their AGM's on sale now.
