    Installed some Duracell agm batteries

    With everyone praising the duracell agm batteries they get at SAMs wholesale I decided to try a set for the trolling motor. Found a little better deal on the warranty at batteries plus instead of going with the SAMs version. Side by side they are essentially the same but with a different sticker. 30 month warranty at battery plus, plus a business discount I paid a few dollars more than SAMs. I'll dig this post back up in a few month to report my experience.

    I have been running those same batteries in my 13 520c for about a year now. They do very well and haven't had an issue with them at all. They seem to charge quickly and have enough reserve power to last all day fishing tidal waters

    I'm on the fourth year with mine with no issues. I will replace them next year just because.

    I ran them in my last Ranger with no issues. The dual pro charger is fine for AGMs. It is the Gel cell that need a special charger.

    I have been using 4 of these Group 31 Duracell AGMs since Sep 2011 and they are still doing well in my 2008 Z20. I am using the Ranger 4 bank 10 amp Duel Pro charger.
