My 4 six volt batteries have finally given out and need replacing. With today's battery technology, has anyone tries using two high performance fishing trolling motor 12 volt batteries wired in series to replace the four 6 volt batteries wired in parrallel? If so, what kind of life are you getting from them?

John- I've had the best results from a good Xantrex 3-stage charger and the 6V golf cart batteries that you get at Sam's Club. For the cost of the custom trolling motor battery, you could just replace your old battery boiler charger with a Truecharge 40+ and buy the cheaper golf cart batteries. Just an FYI- the 6V batteries are wired in series, not the 12V- those have to be wired in Parallel. The 6V batteries afford a much better reserve capacity due to thicker plates. Normally, you have two "pairs" of 6V batteries, each wired in series.
