    fished a 2 day tournament 9 hours each, with out charging by mistake, 4 hds units, 3d, sonic hub , 4 live well pumps running all day, and many other gadgets running, finally killed it 30 minutes before weigh in on the second day, its a solid battery and will handle anything you can through at it in a 12 hour day. and it dont hesitate to start that sho

    Those look great, But expensive.... Something similar in specs made bt DEKA but much more affordable would be this one. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NBP7234

    Go to Sams Club and get a Duracell 31 series AGM it is made by Deka and is a beast of a battery at a great price!

    My Interstate 27M-XHD has been great for my last two boats. Runs all my graphs, live wells and starting all day with power left over after an 8 hour day. I am thinking about switching to the above battery when it's time to change batteries.

    Been running the Duracell for about 6 months and so far it hasn't failed. I do get a voltage alarm on the bird sometimes but i think it's more due to voltage drop of the wires than the battery.
