AGM Deep Cycle Battery

Anybody use these types of battery


I have one of these in my boat, it is much smaller and lighter than a regular flooded type battery but costs 2-3 times more.

I took my boat out last weekend for the first time and ran the trolling motor for hours with no problems

GC, I read that you had all the goodies already, was wondering if'n you had an automatic battery charger? I bought one less than a year ago and wish I'd done it sooner. Mine came from wally world for about $30, and shuts itself down and goes into maintain mode never boiling the battery. Way cool for cheap money. Just wanted to mention it.

I have one but this is what I usually do to be honest.

I have a 12 volt charger that is a solar panel, when I get finished fishing, I just plug that solar panel in the 12 volt outlet on the boat and lay it on top of the cover.... went out there a few mins ago and pushed the charge indicator and it said fully charged:D

If I need it fast I use the plug in charger, if I don't need it fast I just let the sun charge it
