Message: <blockquote data-quote="JNG" data-source="post: 464398" data-attributes="member: 11551"><p>I bought the batteries last fall when I started wiring the boat. Without looking for the receipt and going by memory,  I want to say I paid $153 +/- for each battery. I had no battery to turn in for the 'core charge'. So after tax and core charge the cost was just under $350 +/-. I'm still impressed by the performance. Last Friday was horrible with the wind and waves. Should not of gone out. Steady 30mph winds kicked up 2' waves that had whitecaps on my favorite lake. Only stayed out about 2 hrs. Was really expecting to see a much deeper state of discharge than what I did. I really had to run the trolling motor hard. Still only used 15% of capacity.  I get the argument that two 12 volts are better than 6 volts if a battery goes bad on you while on the water. But in nearly 30 years on the water I have never had that happen.</p></blockquote><p></p>
