    This is the battery I use for cranking and electronics. The cranking power will handle any outboard. I have 3 years on mine and still seems very strong.

    So are you guys using a deep cycle for a cranking battery? I'm confused.

    no we are using AGM which is basically a dual purpose all in one battery. High cca for cranking the motor combined with a high reserve capacity (like a deep cycle). Typically what you see in a lead acid is either a high cca and a low reserve know as staring batteries or you get a deep cycle with low cca and high reserve capacity. AGM is the most recommended battery for marine use on the trolling motor and starting battery. Usually they cost a few hundred bucks each vs a lead acid which is around 80-120 bucks on average.
