[QUOTE="gtodd, post: 493280, member: 4347"] I've used a DieHard Gold U1R-2 (340 cold cranking amps/425 cranking amps at 32°F) lawn/garden battery for the last 12 years on my 14' Gregor/15hp 4-stroke Yamaha to power fish finder and downrigger with no problems and as I troll all day, the motor keeps it charged. Though it only got used for a coup[le weeks per year, the first one lasted close to eight years but I will be changing out the second one at/or before five years. I keep it on a battery tender when not in use but the first one died on me even though voltage tested good on the bench before my trip. I didn't realize that I should have considered battery age as a factor. The size and weight: 7.75L x 5.187W x 7.312H at 18.2 lbs. works well for me. [/QUOTE]
