    4 batteries ?

    With all the latest rage in electronics “ , 4 graphs, live imagery units, bio Sonics, power poles , plus livewells, is there any juice left to crank over the big motor ? can you get by with a single AGM or lithium batt ? or do you go with 2 batts for electronics & big motor ?, plus 3 batts for TM ?

    I use 4 batteries. 100amp for the big motor, livewell, Talons, lights. 2 - 75amp for the trolling motor. 75amp for the Garmin family.

    There is exceptions to the case but typically one large cranking battery with a high amount of reserve capacity along with a Power Pole Charge system will be enough in most situations.
