Battery recommendation

[bassmasher]

I am looking to purchase a new cranking battery which also runs my electronics and live wells. The one that's in there now is a interstate cranking 24m-xhd, 800 CCA-1000 MCA .
Problem being I installed another 12hds (now I have two installed) and the battery seemed to drain quicker than usual. I am concerned during tournaments that with the live well on and the graphs I will run out of juice (during electric only tournaments).
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

What motor do you have? You need 1000 mca minimum to turn over a Pro Xs. I found out the hard way with a small battery that running multiple newer graphs and livewells, that I'd only get about half a day fishing. I got a Batteries Plus X2 power group 31 agm a year ago and haven't had an issue since. The thing is a beast!

What they said?

300 bucks is a little steep right now since I just bought the 12. What's a good second recommendation?

No! The best advice is still the X2!

You will spend more money in a short amount of time unless you get a quality cranking battery like the x2

Napa commercial battery. Best I've used. Tons of power and exceeds all the requirements for the ProXs. Highly praised on here. Plus it's only $155.

I only have a 150hp proxs and 8 inch graph. I went with the group 27 size from batteries plus. Works well but you likely need the group 31. The Napa commercial battery mentioned in prior post is getting good reviews. I assume it is a low cost traditional battery but have not read the posts on it

Here's the Napa Commercial that I mentioned I have and really like.

Wallmart everstart group 29MAX. The max part is key not for the specs but because they give free replacement for 2 years not pro rated!!! Use it for one year 1st sign of it not holding a charge or a slow start bring it back and get a new one at no cost. A fresh group 29 will do what the big 31amg's, take it from someone who has used both. Also I don't know about you but every tournament I fish a Wallmart is less then a hours drive away and like I said no hassle free replacement.

Might as well break out the wallet and get a north star have been fighting low voltage alarms on graphs with batteries listed above until I got a 31 north star

ANY COMMENTS OR EXPERIENCES WITH THE EXIDE MEGA CYCLE ? DECENT PRICE WITH A GOOD MCA.

There is a reason people are telling you to get certain batteries, we have experience with failed situations lol the X2 has a 4 year warranty, $300 is a great investment with a 4 year warranty. Heck it's probably more warranty than your engine came with.

Napa commercial battery is not a marine battery. Doe's that matter ?

[laposta28]

Don’t be cheap when it comes to the batteries. X2 is only way to go! If you think your gonna get a RELIABLE battery to do what you want with all you have said your gonna be spending $300. Just sayin! Don’t skimp on the battery you will 100% regret it. You asked for the recommendation and about 5 people are telling you the same thing. I’d listen and pony up the cash!
