I have been using a"kirkland" battery for some time now without issues. Unlike Canadian tire...quick and easy replacement if there is a problem. No waiting hours while they diagnose the battery.

So far so good with my Kirklands. Have them in my vehicles, trolling motor, boat starting motor and a dual 6V setup for the trailer. No complaints yet.

A buddy turned me onto them a few years back. I wouldn't use any other....You won't be disappointed; from sales, performance, durability and warranty...

If I understand what your asking yes. If you hook up in series you add the voltage and amps stay the same. If you hook up In parallel voltage stays the same and you add the amps.

Hey guys, I just bought the Kirkland 24DC Marine Deep Cycle battery. I was reading on Minnkota website that there’s a difference between Marine and “true” deep cycle batteries and that they recommend one not rated for cranking amps. The one I have had a cranking amps rating. All I want to do is run a trolling motor, not start a boat. Will this battery due or should I return.
