I'm going to need 2 new trolling motor batteries soon and was wondering what is the best for the money without breaking the bank..I'm running Interstate but do not care for them anymore..

Duralast. Have them on mine. As far as a wet battery goes they last.

I'd have to look to even see what are on my boat.

I'd like to have a few of them Optima Blue Tops but can't get myself come out of pocket that much for batteries.

Everstart Maxx 29 @ Walmart.

Now that I see this- I believe that's what I have

Pm to ya big al

I use Autocraft, from Advance Auto Parts.

They are $66.99+ tax if you buy them online, use discount code TRT41 and pickup in the store. They charge you the core upfront, then refund it when you pick the battery up and turn your core in.

Whichever battery academy sells. They've got a year no question asked warranty. Which is great cause they don't seem to last but about a year. I've just swapped mine out every year batteries for life

^^What he said^^

Used to be Stowaway branded, now they're Exide Stowaway. Not sure if Exide has always made them, and just decided to project its brand more or what, but I used to run them for my cranking batteries. Always had good service, just decided to go to a lighter battery (Braille).

I only use stowaways from academy. No issues swapping them out.


I get 5 or 6 years out of them when maintained correctly.

I use Optima, my best ever were Delco voyagers, I have used the Walmart series (if you have trouble usually there is a walmart with in driving distance). Which ever you get, put a quality charger on them and charge them everytime you come off the water and they will last for years. Also, stay away from the 24 series battery. its ok for cranking, but will not hold up all day running areators, electronics etc.

Everstart at wal-mart has 2yr no questions asked warranty, and will last if charged properly. I use Everstart and blue top optima, with both being my favorites.

Everstart Maxx...

I will throw in my vote for Everstart Maxx as well. My trolling batteries are from 2008 and will still give me 12-14hrs on the water in windy/high current conditions. I have a MK maxxum 74# digital. So the digital is a huge help staying on the water too.

Thanks for the replies..I was thinking about the Everstart Maxx batteries as well..

bump for Advance deal...
