Need trolling motor batteries ! Any place in Cleveland area to get some good / cheap ones ?

Thought my motor guide was about to kick the bucket the last 2 trips , today it would only put out like it was set on 1 but I had it on 5 which usually pulls the boat

better than the old 90 hp Johnson LoL .

I recently put a new plug in ( foot control to power ) and wired it to only run on 24 volts and wired the batteries together a month ago . Thought maybe I screwed this up as well emoDoh

I checked voltage on both , one good @ 12 volts , one at 4 volts ....... thought maybe my charger wasn't working , when I put it on the battery it was arching and kicking the charger off within

10 seconds .............. pulled battery out and 1/2 the cells were about dry . Topped them off and charged it 5 hours and battery is still around 4 volts . I'm trying to remember if a deep cycle

will charge again and still be useable after its been dry ? But seems like it would be worth the effort to get new one's vs. cutting a trip short because the trolling motor is dead .

Both batteries are 6 years old , so figured I'd go ahead and replace them both .

These were both Sears deep cycle batteries , I'm thinking 6+ years is pretty good for a set , but auto zone's were about 40 bucks cheaper for the pair ? There used to be a battery place around here

years ago where you could buy recycled batteries cheap .....

Thx in advance

Sears oOffers some of the best AGM batteries made but they are expensive
Red hot Battery on Wildwood street offers the recycled batteries but I wouldn't waste my money on them

Walmart offers a decent battery at a good price and there are Walmarts all over the US if you need one replaced under warranty

Someone suggested TNT battery in Cleveland ? I with you on the refurbed , would probably be better start to finish to go ahead and get some brand new ones .

Noticed autozone batteries came with 3 yr warranty , most were only 1 or 2 else where .

thx

I had a bad experience a few years back with Interstate and that store. I will never use them again



As for TNT battery I have used them years ago and found nothing wrong with their batteries however as I get older and travel more I want some batteries I can easily replace under warranty if I have trouble away from home. Walmart is pretty much in every town in the US

I have replaced two batteries this year. The first one was an Auto Zone battery. Dead in 11 months. I slow charged it for 5 hrs and the charge was at 70%. Took it to Auto Zone to be checked. After they checked it, free replacement.....no charge.

The second battery was from WalMart. Dead in 10 months. Took it back and they charged and checked it. Again, free replacement...no charge.

I have also bought recon batteries from TNT years ago. Never a problem.

I guess it has to do with how much you fish and how much you are willing to spend.

</p>

on my last boat I bought Autozone batteries. They are less than the Die Hards, but for a reason. The boat I have now have die hards, don't know how old they are as these were in the boat when I purchase the boat in July but I can charge them up and fish for two full days with out a notice in loss of power. I couldn't do that with the Autozone batteries.</p>
