I just picked a 24 Volt Vantage 76 thrust Trolling motor so I need 2 new battery’s, I can get Interstate’s for around cost so that’s the plan.
I have a 16' Sea Nymph SC with 40 HP Mariner so I don’t want to add any more weight then I have too. I currently have a dual purpose Interstate battery that is my only Battery and runs everything, starter, finder, lights, live well, bilge.
Being a dual purpose and being a bit older it often doesn’t have enough juice left to crank the motor over at the end of the day, I do have a pull start for back up on my motor so it’s not that big of a deal.
I’m hoping I don’t need 3 battery’s but that’s what it’s looking like.
Option 1. Two New group 24 or 27 deep cycles along with my current dual purpose battery or possibly a new Starting or new Dual purpose battery.
Option 2 Two New group 27 or 31 Dual Purpose or Deep Cells that run everything.
If I go with option 1 can run anything other then Trolling Motor off the Deep Cells? I do plan on going to a Color sonar eventually and adding some more lighting along with a stereo I know my current Dual purpose can not meet this demand.
Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology. Battery powdered items will always have their place. I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!! That would be a bit loud and smokey!
That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty. Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.
As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows, you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.
