Anyone using the SRM-27B interstate batteries?????

[jbsteels]

I am looking for some feed back on these batteries. I had some of those thermo oil batteries in my boat prior and was told that my trolling motor was not getting to 100% because those batteries where rated at 85 amp hours, so I sold those and purchased the interstae batteries.

I am running a 74 LB. minnkota 24 volt, so any feed back would help, thanks...

I run them. Not sure if they are the "B" or not.
I've been a fan of the Interstsate's for awhile, and shared my reasons on this site.
I have a Minkota 101. I can run two days on the Delta in the summer (short tournaments) without recharging them.
Last I heard there were 3 batt mfgs in the US. Why would I pay $150 for an Optima, that if I remeber correctly is made by JCI, same company that makes the Interstate, that comes with the same warranty.
Right now my opinion is they are my best bet. I get a discount as well, so that helps as well .
