I have 3 of these for my trolling motor and they are now 4 years old. Just wanted to know what you guys have experienced for how long they last? So far, no problems, but I know I'm on borrowed time.

I had 4 Group 31's in my last boat. They were almost 5 years old when I sold it and still going strong. Talked to the guy who bought it from me 2 years later and they were still holding up.

Charge em right after you use them and they will last forever. I pull 10-20 amps max on a 8-12 hr day. 4 years on mine and as good, voltage-wise, as the day I bought em. Ghost 24 volt. Ranger 188

Ranger 188 This was my philosophy on 3 Odyssey batteries I paid good money for. They gave me 3 years. Boy was I wrong. I have been running a Duracell cranking battery for over 4 years and itโs been going strong. Worth noting that I do not have any electronics on it.

I've been using these same batteries since 2019. I had 3 in my boat, 1 for cranking, 2 for 24v TM. They will run my livewells, 2 - Lowrance Carbon 12, and start my Merc 150HP. They are still going strong to this day. I've ran them hard for 10 hours and didn't see any sign of them slowing down. This coming year I will be replacing them with Lithium as I plan to make my boat state of the art in electronics w/ FFS. Already working on replacements 1 - Ionic 125ah 12v 2 - Ionic 100ah 12v

Had an issue that initially thought was battery related so I had to change to another brand because that was all that was available. Gave the battery to buddy who put on his boat as cranker and it's worked fine for him for a year. It was fine for me for 2 years before I gave it to him.

The Sam's Duracell AGM along with most other Marine labeled AGM's are dual purpose.

I just pulled mine out because I got a smoking deal on Lithiums.
They were 6 years old and still going.
