I use an EverStart DC27 in my jon boat. I generally fish more than 6 hours in a trip with no trouble.

If its the only thing you are running a 12v vexilar battery is all you need

I purchased the Battery Tender 021-0123 charger and the Powersonic 12V 7AH 570 battery. Both items purchased from Amazon. Both items working well.

I using a Li-po battery 3 cell 11.1 volts 5000 mAh, and in term of battery size and weight is 1/4 of a seal leaded battery. Small in size pack with power!

The specs. should be in the details listed for the item. It depends what you are looking for. there are cold crank amps, and the deep cycle capacity, etc. I can let the radio go all day and it still starts with no problems. Even though i have two batteries, it is comforting to know that i will never need to ask for a jump. The starting power is very noticeable on my old boat. this battery is a beast. make sure you have a smart charger to extend life. the price on amazon is over 100 bucks lower than any store.

I would go to Costco and buy a deep cycle marine battery for your application if you have room for it.

I would have to know all about your electrical system to answer that question, (battery amp hours, equipment draw, hours the equipment will be used, how often your main engine alternator would run, alternator output, etc. etc.) unless your boat has room for many large panels, you will not be able to recharge you battery fast enough to keep up. Your best bet is to add another large deep cycle battery. Solar panels recharge your battery/batteries when your boat is sitting and your equipment is not being used, (over a long period of time).

12 volts marine grade battery is the best easy to maintain and hassle free but I'm using normal battery not dry still it's do the trick and make sure it's is fully charge before every use,if u are a frequent user than use dry cell if not normal will just fine,have a good fishing trip and good luck

the best thing i did was purchased the rechargable batteries and then a charger for the recharger that came with the purchase of the boat , you will get more run times out of those batteries and wont have to purchase anymore AA batteries cause you will save in the long run with rechargables and just a charger that will plug -in to the battery pack recharger that comes with the boat, for instants regualor batteries get maybe two and a half charges versis for charges out of rechargables then with regualors you have to purchase more and rechargable just plug-in and then replay again.

It is a very good deep cell battery for the size and weight. I use it in my Hybrid Kayak to power a 30lb thrust trolling motor and it lasts for days with fairly heavy use. I would assume that it would work well for a backup battery, especially for something as low on energy drain as a sump pump. Hope that helps.

You should be using a deep cycle Marine/RV battery. I'm using these on my travel trailer and they work great with good sun exposure.

The battery terminals and clips do quite well. It had standard hex nuts, but we changed the nuts to wing nuts just for ease of use. We have a 14' jon boat and have had NO PROBLEMS with loss of power. It was a great purchase for us. Bear in mind, most of the area lakes that we go don't have strong current. Also, we typically are in "No Wake" areas when fishing.

You will need to put the battery in some sort of case to be safe. The battery will short circuit if accidentally submerged. It could also suffer damage if left loose inside the hull. I use this in my Ocean kayak trident 13. This kayak comes with a mouted battery bag for the mentioned reasons. You may e able to buy the bag and mount it in your kayak.

No real suggestion. I presume 12 volt car battery. Possible poor connection? Current should be less than 12 amps. Mine stays bright for hours (should get > 100 from deep cycle marine battery).

Hello Frank, Any good MARINE deep cycle battery will do. They look like auto batteries and can be found wherever batteries are sold. Think about how far you will be traveling on average, and ask a competent sales person about the correct size. I bought a battery for abt. $55 and have never had a problem. Good Luck

What the previous responses said! Marine battery, motor mount, trolling motor and battery box. I would also recommend picking up a trickle charger if you don't have one yet to charge your battery when not in use.

As far as I know the supplier does not offer a rechargable battery, but there are a variety of sourses for them. I installed mine in my sailboat, power supplied by the 12 volt battery system, and it seems to work without a problem.

Use a 12 volt largest marine battery you can get. Keep it charged up and should last all day while out
