Trolling Motor Batteries

[rdutton572003]

I have a 2000 Ranger R83 bass boat and am running a Motorglide 75 lb thrust trolling motor on the bow. I have noticed with in the last month that the battery life is getting much shorter and i am having to recharge the trolling motor batteries after only a couple of hours of use. I don't run the trolling motor continuously. I use it at medium sped most of the time. I have checked the on board charger and it is supplying 14 VDC plus to each bank. The charger is a Guest 2632A three bank charger with Bank 1 rated at 20 amps, Bank 2 & 3 rated at 5 amps. I have also checked the cable connections and cleaned the terminals on all batteries.

If anyone can recommend what batter brand and size I should but buy, I would be thankful.

I know this won't help catch any fish in Lake Allatoona but but at least I can fish longer.

Thanks

rdutton, Go to Natures Tackle Box in Hiram and get you some exides. I've used quite a few and they have been bullet proof for me. Any issues with the battery Christie takes care of it. I have the 32's for my trolling motor..

PS. Call her first 678 567 1211 to make sure she has what you need. If she doesn't she can get them within 24 hrs (usually sooner) as the rep lives nearby..

I use Deka series 31 batteries for my Minn Kota and I am very happy with them and the service that Voltex in Cartersville gives me.
