[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 482434, member: 22613"] Just being 27 series doesn't mean much. They really need to be as close to an exact match or you're shooting yourself in the foot. About all you can do with the trolling motors is check their current consumption with a clamp meter. Running in a barrel should get you closer to actual running conditions. I don't think running them unloaded will tell you much. You'll need a DC clamp meter, be sure to check before you buy since the vast majority are AC only. For what it's worth, almost every time I've run across issues like this, it was a battery. They can fail in just about any way you could imagine, and they aren't made very well anymore. [/QUOTE]
