    Default Best trolling motor batteries for the money?


    I need two and would like to keep the price to around $100 or less each. What brand should I be looking at?

    I like the WM batteries, too. The wife works there, and we get an additional 10% off. The big reason I use them, though, is the great return/warranty policy they have-never a problem if I do need to return one. I use them in my mail Jeep, too, and it beats them to death. Again, no problem taking one back, and for the price, they seem to be the best value.

    I have purchased 3 wal-mart batteries, deep cycle, 2 yr warranty. They usually last me about 2 years and 6 to 7 months. I keep the water level correct and a maintenance charger connected, but my luck has not been much beyond the warranty

    I'm getting good service with a battery from Auto Zone, can't remember the brand name just now and the price was right. Good warranty, three years as I recall and no problem taking one back, had to do that with the last automotive battery. But the boat battery has held up for the last two years and charges up quickly after a day on the lake. I also have an Interstate for the trolling motor. Interstate has only a one year warranty and is fairly expensive. Went completely dead after a couple of trips. Water got low, how I don't know I'm so fussy about checking it. Anyway, the seller put it on the charger and it did charge up and has been working fine all last summer. But, I'll not buy another. I agree that Walmart batteries are good and so is the warranty. Academy Sports and Outdoors has good prices but they aren't everywhere and Walmart is.

    Wally world Batteries as stated are reasonable, they are dependable, and I use mine very hard and they have lasted very well for me. I feel no need to pay for the more expensive ones when I have gotten great service from the wm marine batteries. I do use the bigger ones and run 2 on 24 volt system and I can not run my trolling motor battery down in a day of fishing no matter how hard I run it while the batteries are still in good shape. Also, if I ever notice issue ever starting I do replace both at the same time and would suggest anybody running two together to always do that as that seems to make them last longer. Has gave me good service keeping them new together at same time that way anyway.
