Lightweight Trolling Batteries

Post by BAD BEHAVIOR »

I have been looking for some lightweight trolling batteries for my little boat and I am having a time with it. I called Ray Glass Battery source in Thomasville, Ga and not only did they not know their azz from a hole in the ground about batteries, they were extremely rude to boot. I asked them if they carried Interstate batteries. The guy said, NO. Not No Sir but we do carry.........? I then asked for a comparable trolling battery that may be lightweight. The guy I was talking to said he didnt know about marine batteries so he'd let me speak to Ron. Guy sounded like Archie Bunker in Alcoholic Rehab. I asked him " What battery do you have that is lightweight and comparable in performance to an Interstate? He said if I wanted an Interstate to go to Napa. Before I started handing out choice words, I told him nevermind and I appreciated his time. :smt011 :smt012 :smt009 :smt011 :smt012 All I know is "ol Archie best be glad he dont work for J.P., or he'd be job free!!! Is there anybody on the site who can recommend a lighter battery or If not, is there a club or forum member who sells interstates?? Nothing, and I mean Nothing, chaps my azz like bad service and Mr Ray Glass battery store man has sho got plenty!! :thumbdown: :hammer: :smt013

How does 38 pounds per battery sound?
Not cheap but they last like 10 years.
