Starting Battery ?

what do you use for a starting battery? Deep cycle or regular battery

I use a dual purpose battery. Deep cycle and cranking in one. Ionic 125ah

This ^^^^^

I've just used the group 27 lead acid marine battery from walmart for my starting and trolling batteries. They are 750 cranking amps with 109 amp hours. Works for about 4-5 years. Unless your motor needs 1000 cca, these are just fine.

Either Dual purpose or cranking. I don't think you can use a true deep cycle for a starting battery. At least not for very long.

Starting battery only. And I only use Walmart batteries. It doesn't matter where or when, there is a Walmart.

X2Power AGM starting battery from Batteries Plus... Dan

Or a budget battery

Duracell AGM 31M

I use the walmart Everstart Maxx Marine 29DC for both the starting battery and trolling motor batteries. It has 845 cranking amps and will run the livewells and electronics all day and still start up just fine at the end of the day. Been using them for 10 years (not the same ones of course)

Best value out there at $119.

I use a Duracell agm group 31 from batteries plus. It starts the motor, all the boat stuff…lights, pumps…and electronics which includes 3 graphs + AT.

Mine is a 24 series made by Deka and sold by NAPA. its a marine cranking battery with 800CCA. My first one lasted 4 years, now on number 2. Been a great battery.

I ran Walmart Ever Start Marine Deep Cycle Batteries since way before there were AGM's and Lithium's. They are by far the best bang for the buck for a lead acid battery. I've ran Interstate, Continental, and AC Delco deep cycle batteries. The only batteries out of that bunch were the Continentals that lasted as long as the Ever Starts, they just cost more. If you can go Lithium a 50 AH Lithium is probably still going to outperform any lead acid battery based on some of the numbers I've seen.

This starts my Mercury Pro XS 250 and runs electronics.
Your motor size would help with recommendation just an FYI
Good luck!!!

x100. Everstart on my boat and truck. They last a good while, work perfectly fine, and like you said… there’s a Walmart every where to swap em out

Get you a group 31 AGM for sure, made by Decka.

I'm on my 5th year with this battery and it's still running very strong. By far, the best cranking battery I've ever purchased.

Got the 27 X2 for my Triton 186. Been stellar
