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
