VMAX MR137-120 AGM Sealed Marine AGM Battery 12V 120AH for 50lb -110lb thrust Minn Kota, Newport Vessels, Cobra, Sevylor and other trolling motors. VMAX MR137 Deep Cycle 12V 120Ah Battery BCI group 31

I was very pleased with the packing of the battery. It arrived at the house in excellent condition. Job we'll done. So far, the battery packs plenty of power for my trolling motor needs.

Terrific with my Minkota 55 and my too heavy 15ft aluminum boat. Great power, lasts longer and depletes less and charges more quickly than all past batteries. The batteries that I have been looking for. Addendum: 6 stars!! The boat sank. A week later, both batteries were fine and the Minkota worked fine while batteries and motor were still underwater. While not recommended, it is an amazing indication of the quality and durability of the batteries and motor.

Awesome battery. Use this in conjunction with my starter motor. Spent the night on the boat and ran the dock light all night long. Also ran fish finder/gps withno issues. This is a very outstanding battery and as a matter of fact, I am purchasing another to add a third battery. There is no doubt that I will have too much power after that. You cannot go wrong with this battery. Just be prepared for a workout because it is extremely HEAVY.

We’ll the few times I took it out it lasted all day on the water and still had half battery left was great for holding charge on my trolling motor, the only Con Iv delt with is the weight it’s very heavy If you have a hard time lifting heavy objects I’d stay away , but if your young like me and want more time on the water I’d recommend!

Reliable

So far these batteries are working great, but I usually get at least 5 years service out of AGM batteries, so the jury's still out. I paid about $270 ea. for these, which is a good deal pricier than the last time I bought group 31 AGM batteries - paid $160 ea. + shipping back in 2005 - wow, 11 years ago. Guess I got my monies worth out of those. Key to keeping these a long time: don't let them get cold, and keep a maintenance charge on them over the winter.

I contacted VMAX via their contact web form and also by email trying to get my defective battery replaced. VMAX never responded to any of the emails I sent them. They completely ignored my request. I also attempted to call them on the phone multiple times after no response to my emails. I finally got a person on the phone who asked me a bunch of questions about the type of smart charger that I was using, etc. They told me they would see what they could do and would get back with me. The person never got back with me and the company never responded to any of my email requests. I paid $307 for this battery and was expecting it to last for years. Companies like this should be removed from Amazon.

Both batteries won't hold charge just under 2 years after purchase.
