BP Batteries
 

Was at the new Bass Pro Shop that opened last week and had it's grand
opening Sat. A great looking store. I think it's bigger than the one in
Gurnee and if not is laid out so that it looks a heck of a lot bigger. A
real first class day there. Tons of staff and lots of goodies to look at.

My question. We're contemplating new batteries, crank and trolling. Does
anyone have any experience with BP brand or do anyone know who makes them
for them? Any input at all appreciated.

thanks guys n gals.

Trojan's aren't as good as some people believe... or at least the one that I
used.

One look at the number of kids we have will explain that one. lol

I have not had all that great of luck with Trojans. I've had about equal
performance from Sears Diehard deep cycles. Also, the price of Trojans has
jumped way up in the last year. Stupidly high. The local shop wanted 180
each for a set of group 31s, and the best I could find them on line for was
about 140+ freight.

At 180 for Trojans its not that much to step up to some absorbed glass matt
batteries at 199 each. That's what I did. Got a set of Cabelas brand AGMs.
I have not had them long ewnough to tell how they will last long term, but
short term they are sure holding up real well for under hard use. Better
than my Trojans or my Diehards.

Saturday I spent 8 hrs in the current fishing an ABA tournament pulling hard
and flipping. I had the stereo on the second half of the day. At the end
of the day the TM was pulling just as hard as it did at the begining of the
day. I put the independent 6 amp chargers on them over night, and they all
read full charge the next morning ready to go. I fished the Yuma Pro Am
tournament on Sunday and did it again. Again at the end of the day the TM
still had enough thrust to pitch you out of the boat if you weren't careful.

Now to see how many months I get out of them. I got 12-18 months max out
Trojans or Diehards and less out of Interstates in the past. They would
still load test as good, but they just couldn't pull hard all day long
anymore.

If I can get two years out of them it will be a first.

BP Batteries
 

For the Trojan Starting Battery 1100 I paid $90 for and the 2 Trolling
batteris 225 I paid $125 each and the 180's I think where about $90 each if
I remember right. :). Now the last pair of Trolling batteries I had where on
a Guest charger 24/7 all year long and I got 5 years out of them. So I guess
its how good of luck you had with them or any other Battery but I'll take
them over any others at this time.......
The Boat came with smaller optima but the reserve with them sucked as they
didnt last a half day in a tourny. Ya they charge fast but that didnt do me
any good that day :( Went back to Trojans and I havent had any problems
with batteries lasting all day.
Guess its just what you like :)

BP Batteries
 

I got a troller battery from BP about 4 years ago, and it was the only
battery I ever saw that had corrosion problems
with the stainless wingnut. I replaced it with a spare and that fixed it.
Same battery while in storage over the winter
cracked the top plastic, and leaked fluid.
I've always had good luck with the generics at wally world, considering the
prices.
