[QUOTE="thill, post: 499738, member: 4972"] I have a MK 55# with one group 29 battery on my Princecraft, and I get a couple of days on the water out of a charge, but I don't troll much. I mostly use the motor to hold position near structure in wind and current. Usually I'm just bumping it off and on at level 2 or 3 with short runs between spots. In contrast, my 70# MK has two group 29 batteries, and it lasts about 8 hours in the Bay holding my 22' bay boat against some fairly swift currents. That is the one that needs a lot of juice. 30% more useable power doesn't sound as good. How does your 65 AH battery compare in actual use to standard batteries? Same number of run hours compared to a group 29 battery? More? Less? That is the real question. Thanks for posting your experiences. [/QUOTE]
