grandpajack, I'm usually a dollar short and a minute late with good, free advice! Awright! Which one of you clowns hollered "That's about what it's worth!" Wisenhimers!! If you haven't gotten your battery yet, consider the Trojan 31 series. A bit pricey, yes, but worth every penny! I used to have a teacher who always said, "Something is expensive only if it doesn't do the job for which it's intended!" The Trojan does the job and mine has been doing it for going on 5 years now and doesn't show any signs of slowing down! DIRTBALL2

While we are on the subject of batteries, how would those big batteries used to start diesels like the ones in heavy equipment work in a fish house. I'm just wondering because I have access to some. Would they hold a charge longer and would they beable to take discharge/charge cycles?

[walleyechasers3]

GRIZ, I can't help you with that one. Hopefully someone here can

griz, they would take what ever you can dish out in a fish house.

[GRIZ]

Thats kinda what I figured. Just with their size I figured they outta last a bit longer is all.

HEY GRIZ, the large batteries that come outa road graders work well! we had one in the wheel house that wasno good fot the machine but it wood take and keep a charge  4 about 2weeks at 6 hrs a nite. the only down was the weight at 100 pluse # :P

[GRIZ]

Thats the down side to them is the weight but I need something cheap. The place I work has over 30 machines and the mechanic lives 1/4 mile from home. I'm figuring I could prolly borrow a few over the winter, since they aren't being used.

[jigglestick]

make sure you clear it with the boss. I would rather buy you a battery than see you loose your job over something like that.

[GRIZ]

Already cleared
