Batteries come with boat?
Just ordered a 2022 zx200 . Was told it “didbt come with batteries” I thought that was very weird.
at the very least I would expect something like that to be included as part of the rigging. Last boat I bought was over 20 years ago and I know things might be different now.
Anyone have advice?
My dealer includes batteries and upgrade to Ultrex but still.honors NAP.
I did upgrade to the ultrex
I’m going to have to ask them when they return from holiday closure.
If you decide to go lithium give us a call, we have a 36v system that is as affordable as good agm's.
Call or DM me with any questions

You’re paying for it either way. Leaving them out allows you to pick your own (there is a difference among what’s available).
the boats are shipped without batteries that is part of the final rigging an make ready to deliver.
CT, It's a blessing in one way. My 2019 came with the old green top group 27 wet cell batteries.
The lack of power for the birds and accessories caused problems. So, it is my recommendation that
you chose a strong group 31 AGM battery. Now here is the important part, Yamaha SHO Warranty will not
cover a lithium battery for starting. (Maybe one of these days) Now choosing lithium for your trolling motor
batteries is great if you can afford them. The problem lithium's present is the charging system. I would talk
to one of the board sponsors for their requirements and what can be done with the charger in your new boat.
It depends on your use for your boat, if your fishing tourny's that can rule your decisions. If your just fishing
for relaxation and fun, you won't have to reach that high. Just make sure that you address your concerns to your
dealer. Running graphs and accessories eats alot of power, just consider your type of fishing.
The fortunate thing is you will have a few months to get this worked out before your boat shows up.
Good Luck!
Thank you for the reply that’s very good info . Just relaxing fishing for me now so sounds like regular batteries will suit me. So I’m I to understand that it’s included in what I already paid for rigging or will I pay additional fee for the batteries?
No you'll have to pay. No free batteries
Awwww man that’s the world we live in now I guess
Mine were installed with Interstate Batteries, not really sure if they were included in MAP pricing. I've got a 31AGM Interstate Cranking, and Interstate 31 Flooded trolling motor batteries.
This winter I'll update my cranking battery to the Batteries Plus X2. I plan on getting lithiums for the trolling batteries, but figured I'd run the flooded ones for a few years until it's time to replace them.
2022 Skeeter ZXR20
Yamaha 250 SHO
The last three boats I bought from the same dealer the batteries were included as part of the dealer prep, I just paid a little extra for a larger starting battery. Note, I have the interstate 27 trolling motor batteries and they run all day without any issue. I already have 80 hours on my motor in less than a year so I do fish a lot. I hope to get another year on them and then I'll replace them with the Walmart 29's. As others have said it's a good idea to get a 31series battery for the starting battery. Hopefully you will also get the Skeeter rebate that was just announced along with the Yamaha promotion that will come out soon.
2021 Skeeter ZX225
2021 Yamaha SHO 225 VF225LA
Both my new Skeeters came with them included in the price. Of course on my 2021 ZX225 it had a totally inadequate group 27 starter that did not meet 2 of the 3 requirements outlined by Yamaha. Called them out on that and their response was that is what they install and there have been no complaints, sold all of them and bought new batteries myself.
My dealers sends out their boats with an AGM starting battery as well.
Yes sir, they do...top notch guysOriginally Posted by Mark Perry
