I have a 36 volt 101lb MK trolling motor and need to change the 3 batteries. I'm interested in what brand everyone uses.

Thanks.

Josh

I just put 3 agms from batteries plus. It's a lot of money to put out but they have 5 year free replacement warranty

I actually replaced them one at a time to spread the cost over a couple months

I've looked at them, but the thought of spending over $800 on 4 batteries with the cranking one is hard swallow!!

Thanks.

Most batteries in the US are made by Delphi, Exide, and Johnson Controls. They just put private labels for individual companies. Interstate is made by Johnson Controls the same company that makes Optima, Diehard, Duralast, and Everstart.

Charge them as soon as you get off the water, keep the cells full if it's a wet cell, and top of the charge before going fish.

Even though they are made buy the same company doesn't mean each label is made to the same standard.
Lots of companies make products with different labels but not the same quality. It's about market share.
