Got to long hunter sunday morning and upon lowering the motor, i knew it didnt sound right. Sure enough, that all famous "click" when i turned the key. No biggie, i took a trolling battery, swapped it and no problems.
Got the cranking battery out and its in fact a Deep Cycle battery.
Any reason why it would be a deep cycle as opposed to a cranking battery? Console Garmin and everything on the dash runs off that battery, lights, livewell, ect. Is that why its a deep cycle?
Im guessing i should replace it with another deep cycle?
Defiantly Deep cycle with everything you are running off of it and like AlanRay stated Dual purpose for a single battery ... In fact I would run two batteries in parallel if you have the room ... Same voltage but doubles your amperage (staying power).... The best battery for the money are Walmart Batteries ... They are made by Johnson Controls, when I was guiding I was sponsored by a number of Battery Manufactures but These batteries gave me the best performance with a good warranty... Just my opinion ...<'TK><
