I have use just any Deepcycle battery that is a R28 or bigger R32 and has 180 min too 210 res .. I take 2 per day but I am pushing a 14ft alum and my motor is a 55 mini kota with a
maximizer variable speed .. I have been using Deepcycle batteries for over 30yrs on Maligne Lake and get about 7 to 10 yrs from them if I charge every 3 months . also have used Cat Deepcycle battries at 410 minute res .. I use a 2amp trickle charger and have a hand held mini kota battery meter too check charge .. I try to get minimum 12.8 to 13 per charge reading after taking off charging for 2 hrs
you can run a battery out very quick if you are wide open(100%) it last a hour R28
also I use one battery at a time
hope this helps

It is a 12V, will this provide me with enough snot for a full day of fishing? I am running a 15ft Flatback Canoe with approx 400 -500 lbs weight.
Should a guy get two and run them in parallel to gain more run time?
Deep Cycle, gel?? Yes or No??
What is working for you? I appreciate the replies fellas, tight lines  |
