While working on the computer this Saturday morning, I caught the tail end of a Hank Parker commercial for Trolling Thunder trolling batteries on one of the morning TV fishing shows.

Has anyone ever heard of Odyssey Batteries or the Deltran Battery Tender?

I went to their web site and their PR says that they are a 24 volt deep-cycle system that can be installed in the bow of your boat.

They go on to say that they are designed for rough service and will recharge at least 400 times with their Deltran Battery Tender.

I was just wondering about these batteries and th Deltran BatteryTender so if you know about them or have any information I am sure the guys would be appreciative.

I've never dealt with or used them but I think they are just a top of the line AGM. Not sure they would be that much better than other top line AGM batteries like the Trojan's. It's kinda like which car is better, the BMW or the Lexus.   As for a bow installation, I personally would not want that much extra weight in the bow.  It's hard enough to get good bow lift on most bass boats with just the weight of the TM sittin up there.  Other than a few of the tin cans, I don't know of many bass boat that have bow battery compartments

Now, if you want to be feel confident you are getting the one of the best in an AGM and don't mind the cost, they might be the way to go.
