misfish Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Im looking for a 12 volt SEALED deep cycle battery. What do you know that,s out on the market? Price as well. Thanks Edited August 12, 2014 by Misfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Deep cycle? You aren't going to find something much lighter then what's already out there.. maybe a AGM but you'll pay for it... Is that worth 15lbs? Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Thanks Bill,fixed.LOL 15 POUNDS would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Just up the road from you bro, Total battery, everything from 1.3 amps on up. Edited August 12, 2014 by Fisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 You can find small one, but if you're going to be using it for a TM on the toon, you'll kill it pretty quickly. (Cycling it down too low over and over). I would go to a battery shop and buy a proper capacity deep cycle and make it work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Thanks Bill,fixed.LOL 15 POUNDS would be great. No no, I meant a savings of 15lbs You'll still be lugging around a 50lb battery, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) You'll still be lugging around a 50lb battery, lol! Not the one that my fishing partner has. I know what your up to ,what does your partner use??,I think something small as said won't last long. LOL Davey Im just looking around. 200 bucks for a battery like the one he has, is a bit steep for me right now.

DRIFTER_016 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Thanks Bill,fixed.LOL 15 POUNDS would be great. That's weight savings over a standard deep cycle. What do you want to use the battery for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 optima yellow top 26 lbs and as misfish said 200 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Wow 26lbs is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 That's weight savings over a standard deep cycle. What do you want to use the battery for? My toon Dave. Not for every outing though. Just want to be versatile. Say like in the spring when the water is way to cold for flipping my way around. I have built a platform to attach to the toon. The battery will sit mostly on the pontoon so it has solid support. Also has rod holders on it and a place to put a small cooler that I can have ice packs in it for keeping a feed of fish if I desire.. It,s pretty cool. Just waiting to finish it up then going to test it out. The biggest issue is,I have the entry level toon, (kind of rushed in on a good deal)so it,s not like Terrys beast, where he has everything including the kitchen sink.. The only thing missing,is an out house.LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Makes sense. I run mine in forward not reverse though. That way I have the multiple forward speeds I can use. They run theirs reversed so they have multiple reverse speeds to help pulling sturgeon away from structure I believe. I like the use of the oars as rudders. I'll have to remember that.

Terry Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I use my oars as rudders not as much as they do but to counter the effects of side wind or waves and to just make it a more stable\strait ride most times i just use my flipper to steer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bare foot wader Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I like the use of the oars as rudders. I'll have to remember that. why not just mount a terrova with ipilot and use the remote?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 why not just mount a terrova with ipilot and use the remote?... LOL It,s a toon, Trying to keep it as simple as possible. With a small added luxury. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bacon Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Have you considered a lithium ion battery? They are much lighter. Your wallet will be lighter too so you save even more weight Edited August 12, 2014 by JohnBacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I wonder what my toon will do if I strap my 4hp Merc on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish4Eyes Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Check costco. I bought the bigger size Kirkland battery and noticed it was easily half the weight of my old interstate, which was a smaller battery. Costco warranty and pricing are also factors.
