The Optima blue tops! I changed trolling batterys last year & what a difference. They're expensive, I can use them a couple trips without recharging on a 24' Skeeter & I'm hard on a trolling motor! Most of your auto parts places carry them. Autozone, O'reilly's etc.....

before you buy the optimas give speckdaddy a pm and ask him how he is liking the batteries my brother hooked him up with less money and more battery and same technology.. they are for electric wheel chairs. they have more reserve than the optimas. if you still like the optimas he has those too

No sir these are glass mat. I like the gel cells also and i bought the evertroll series when they came out. 400
bux a battery is expensive. I put my trollin motor on yedterday mornin before i left work wide open. At six last night i still had 93% battery life! And its still runnin wide open right now . The batteries arent hot as others do when under constant use. I wanna see what they are at when i get off tonight. Want a report? I am very satisfied
