    I got 2 6volt Trojan golf cart batteries =12 volts
    They are heavy so i think they will last a long time. Got a good, smart charger too.

    OK, you guys are getting a great deal here. If you have never heard of LIFEPo4 litthium Ion batteries they are the longest lasting battery I have found to operate my trolling motor for at least 12 hours a day hard. They recharge FAST and can be recharged over 2500 times before any degrading. You can use the battery down to 10% left unlike AGM that you can only go to about 50% without damaging long term over and over again. They are more expensive but if you look you can find them for a good price. I own TWO of these and they work GREAT! Use a lithium charger only so buy the charger if it does not come with it. This one does.

    I don't doubt that the LIFEPo4 is a remarkable battery but at $400++ with freight and tax I could have 4 of theses Everstart Maxx Marine batteries each come with a 2 year warranty so I'm covered for up to 8 years, and most likely they will get me 12 to 15 years if not more. I will have a newer fresh battery at least 4 different times and do not have to break the bank all at once.

    As I said I'm sure the one you have suggested is a great battery, but I did some extensive research a few years back of all the different types of batteries and for me anyway when all was said and done when compared to the top of the line batteries my scenario stated above seem to win out every time. I do realize there are some folks that money is no object as well as special situations regarding battery weight and size which must be considered when making your final choice.

    I don't see how you can beat the Walmart Batteries.
    Warranty honored at any Walmart across the USA, swap out on the go, minimal downtime/hassle.
    Best price around.
    Long life.
    Standard charger or trickle charger.
    My advice is properly install the battery with clean connections with a little dielectric grease, secure the battery, keep 'em charged, and usually you will have no problems for the life of the battery - boat, mower, car, whatever.

    With those Everstart batteries, they will have optimal performance when you buy them and for some period of time after .... but will slowly degrade to the point you can no longer deal with the degradation and then you buy a new set.

    With the Lithiums .... they degrade over a VERY long period of time .... probably 10 and maybe 15 years... so if you assume 10 years, you deal with the problem once .... with the Lithiums you have mostly trouble free operation instead of having to deal with poor power and then replacing the batteries 5 or more time.

    The cost over the 10 year period would be roughly the same ... but probably even cheaper for the Lithiums.
