3 trolling motor batteries = $360 for two years. After 6 years, I would effectively spend $1080 in batteries. I figured that if I bought Optimas at around $220, and they lasted me 3 years, then I would've spent $1320 over a 6 year period.
It’s time for me to replace my 2 interstate batteries for 24 volt trolling motor. Just curious as to what people have been putting in lately. I’ve heard the newer interstate batteries aren’t like the old ones, but I’ve been running into that feedback with most of the battery manufacturers these days. Looking to stick with lead acid ...
Another benefit of lithium batteries is that they run strong all the way through their cycle instead of slowing down as they die when using traditional batteries. This impressive power supply was tested when Lafever had engine troubles and had to use his trolling motor to get back. “I had one tournament last year when I had an engine failure.

Menards Group 31 Lead Acid on sale and %11 off makes them about $101 and they are made by Deka for Menards. I usually get about 5-6 years out of my trolling motor batteries, so when I figure that cost dose not make sense for me. That is my line of thinking too. I get about 4-5 years out of my lead acid ones for $100 each.
What amp hour size are people going with for trolling motor batteries? I have an 80# Terrova FWIW. I just bought a amped outdoors 24v 80ah for my 80# terrova. From the info on their site the 80ah seemed more than enough my for use. I had group 31 lead acid batteries prior and never had any run time issues.
With the new trolling motor I also got a good on board charger and will use and charge the batteries often. I think you’ll be a lot happier with the new setup. Basically all of these batteries use the same chemistry (lead and acid) so there isn’t that big of a difference between them. NONE of them like sitting around discharged.
I was stupid enough to try and jump my outboard without disconnecting the trolling motor batteries from eachother. I fried my ECM! My advice, buy a new cranking battery and keep it charged. Much cheaper than the 1,600 dollar bill for replacing the ECM...
I’ll for sure still swap out the other trolling motor battery just so they are both new… Viewing 20 posts - 1 through 20 (of 20 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
I have a 2004 521 Ranger with a Ranger 4 Bank battery charger. I have replaced the trolling motor batteries now 3 times in 3 years. Everything seems fine when I first get the batteries, but slowly the batteries start to lose power, and eventually, usually get stuck in a tournament where my batteries are completely gone, and I need new ones.
