Run the Epoch 120 ah Dual purpose i got from Drewcraft for the first time fished for 8 1/2 hrs in tournament running a Garmin 126 and 2 106's with livescope with livewells on timer and ended up at 74%.Had a group 31 interstate agm that was getting down to 20% so that is quite an improvement.Started the optimax with ease.

Not bad! Is it internally heated and/or does it have low temp charge cutoff?

[DREWTICK]

it has both heater and low temp cutoff

HEATED - Internal heating allows for charging in sub-zero conditions
BLUETOOTH - iOS and Android Apps
IP67 Rated, Dust and WATERPROOF
Over charge and over discharge protection
Over current and short circuit protection
High & low temperature disconnects

I just wish they had a group 27 or 31 case. Not drilling out the rivets on the existing battery tray(s) to just drill more holes for these particular batteries. Otherwise, there's a lot to like about them

This battery is a group 27 case.

This battery is a group 27 case.

The battery fits in a standard group 27 tray?

If the feet fit inside a group 27 tray, then the case must be slightly smaller than a standard group 27?

Edit

Went to the Drewcraft site.

The dimensions are given but no drawing.

Hard to tell if the the dimensions are the case size or the footprint size.

My personal experience with my Epoch TM batts has been very good. For quality plus price, Epoch is hard to beat.

This thread should sell some batteries!! Let's hear it from others that have used this battery for a longer length of time.

will be interested to hear your comparison with the AGM as far as how quickly/efficiently it charges from the alternator. Do you find yourself having to put an external charger on the battery less often than an AGM starter/house battery.

Sounds quite appealing! I'd like to try one out at some point

[jigheadworm]

Next time i'm out I'll check and see how much it charges on a run with the big motor.The AGM was practically dead by the end of 8hrs with motor cranking slow and getting low voltage alarm on the Garmins.

I stand corrected and should have checked the website before posting. I was referencing the original, gray case with the molded in feet. As usual, Drewtick is on top of things
