LB56 the batteries were doing just fine for all of my trips so far. Most I've run them is about 6 hours of hard fast trolling with cranks at 1.6 - 2.0 mph. I have a 24 volt 80lbs system on the boat. (Terova)
PW1 I've noticed with the Okuma's that I'm not able to cast them near as good as the cabela reels, but they sure are nice when a fish is on!
