I'm running a group 29 for my 50lb thrust bow mount trolling
motor and a fish finder.. no problems with power..I keep a good charge for a whole day fishing and I run my trolling motor hard.. I fish marshes and tidal rivers.. lots of current..
doing my boat restoration now.. gonna add another fishfinder, nav lights, bilge pump, aux plug, and I'd like to add a stereo and speakers later on down the road..
question... would I be better adding another group 29 and parallel them for 12v, double capacity?? or would I be better running tm on 1, and use the other as a house battery for my accessories??
my thoughts-- in parallel I only have to hook up 1 charger.. separate systems, I'll have to hook up 2 chargers... (I'll get an onboard charger at some point and can get a 2 bank but for now I'll be using regular battery charger...)
opinions?? I know how to rig and do all the wiring I just don't understand voltage, and amp hours and stuff...
