Trolling Motor Batteries
 
I'm needing 2 trolling motor batteries. My Interstate batteries have finally given up after 6 yrs. A while back there were some post saying that you can order batteries from Advanced Auto online. Are those good batteries or should just bite the bullet and go back with Interstates? If so what size should I get run a 70lb thrust Riptide?

I bought 5 of the batteries that they use in ambulances and cop cars. I've had 2 in my boat for 4 years now and haven't had an issue. I'll sell 2 if needed. datasafe 12hx400-fr

Use what ever size battery fits in your battery tray or what ever size you used last time. If you got 6 years then stick with what ever you did on your last go around, it works.

My Advance Auto batteries work great. Google "Advance Auto coupon code", and you'll find codes for a big percentage off. It comes out to about half of what you'd pay for Interstate batteries, and I haven't noticed any difference.

Whatever kinda batteries you get make sure they have at least 115 amp hrs. I have excide group 31's. I had interstate group 27's and they hardly lasted 6 hours. I can roll hard for 2 days now without recharging. Attachment 95074
