Best Trolling Motor Battery

[JKTrevecca]

One of my trolling motor batteries is getting weak. Walmart has group 29 size deep cycle batteries that are 115 amp hour for 86 bucks a pop.

Opinions on the value compared to more expensive batteries? What do you run and why?

Cheers... Thank you for the input!

Best bet for the money is the walmart batteries, you can spend more but the value is not there with other brands, that's my 2 cents, have bought 3 of them since 2011 and they still going, just recharge them as soon as you come back and it will pay off

I have a Walmart deep cycle battery that was made in Dec. 2012. It gets used quite a bit in spring and fall-early winter, but I keep it charged the rest of the year too when I think about it. For the last few years I have been using a Battery Tender charger that gently charges the batter, which I think helps battery life.

I don't leave it on the Battery Tender all the time, I just start charging it the night before I plan on going. There are other low-amperage chargers on the market now to choose from.

my last walmart battery lasted 4 years, pretty good deal for less than $100

Yep, the Walmart battery is hard to beat for the money. I have used 3 of them over the last 24 years.

I have used ever brand of Battery that was out there, (Some free ones from sponsors) . I used 6 batteries on my guide boat ... Two main batteries in Parallel (12VDC) to run pumps/aero's, start etc ... My 225 HP Blue Water Merc had a 60 amp belt driven Alternator etc ... For my trolling motor 4 batteries set up in series/parallel to give me 24 VDC which doubles the Amperage when paralleled (staying power).

I just bought 2 new batteries for my Walleye boat ... The are from Walmart ... Johnson controls makes Walmart batteries ... They have always given me the best service ... (note: Never integrate old and new batteries in a series or parallel configuration) Now as far as the Litheuim Batteries ... I have never owned one for a marine application .. <'TK>< :)
