I have a 10 month old skeeter zx250. I run 3 graphs, two 12” helix’s and a 9”. Also live well aerators. My cranking battery has died on me 3 times. The latest being after 3 hours. It just has the interstate battery that it came with. Any suggestions on what to do or get. Best bang for the buck? Thanks.

Can't go cheap with a quality dual purpose battery. I suggest the odyssey 2150, X2, Northstar in the group 31's.

You need to check and see if they put a 27 series in there, I know they did in Wawi’s new boat. I don’t even know why they still make 27’s anymore.

You might want try a Lithium Battery for the Graphs If you decide to go this route, buy at least a 80ah or bigger. I bought a 50ah thinking it would be big enough, it’s not, I can kill it in several hours. I should have bought the X2, but they are so dang hard to wrestle into the bilge.

This Duracell Group 31M is all that you need. I ran the Odyssey 2150 for 3 years before it started dying on me. Was not worth the cost or weight (80 pounds).

Lots of good stuff. Thank you. I’m trying to find a place that has the Duracell 31m in stock. Having trouble. I live around Longview/Tyler. I looked at that sams link, but they didn’t have it in.

I have 3 24s running my force trolling motor and a 27 crankin a 95 200 xri/efi along with 3 93sv plus garmins and livescope. has worked better than expected on long days.

Depends on your big motor requirements too. We run the Duracell 31 for trolling motor batteries but it's not big enough with all the electronics, poles, accessories and cranking the big motor after a hard 8 hrs of fishing
