[QUOTE="Macrosill, post: 341702, member: 11079"] I would suggest you figure out what your usage will be and purchase a battery that fulfills those needs. If a Group 29 has enough reserve capacity to last you a day on the water then there is no need to spend a few hundred more per battery to get a Group 31. If you troll constantly then you would need more battery than if you troll a few times per day in short spurts. Figure out your average current draw multiplied by the amount of time you are going to use it and then find the battery that has a larger capacity than that. For estimation purposes I would use numbers that are at the peak end of usage so you do not go dead in the water on a heavy use day. Until you figure out your power needs you can not buy the right battery to fit your usage. If money is of no concern then you could just buy some 8D for about 900 each and not worry about it.
