Default Deep Cycle vs. Trolling Batteries

A trolling battery is a deep cycle battery with built-in extra boat
dealer profit........like any part you put "boat" labels on.

Buy a deep cycle battery from a BATTERY store and save the extra
markup....

Put 4 golf cart 6V batteries in series (255AH for $69 at Batteries
Plus) and run it on 24V if it's rated for 24V. Works great if you can
leave the batteries in the boat permanently.

Great ballast to hold the bow down in the waves, too!....(c;

What is the difference between a Deep Cycle battery and a Trolling
battery? I'm buying a Minn Kota Endura 30 electric trolling motor and
can't decide on the battery. Even the salesman gives an unsure answer
as to the difference between the two. Which one do I buy???

Maybe we could get the power grid fixed if every politician
regulating the power companies wasn't on their payrolls.
