I do have a fire extinguisher.My trolling motor is 24v so i have 2x 12v batteries in series. I have 2 more 12v in series in the front for the trolling motor as well. This allows me to troll all day (8+ hrs) using the trolling motor.I may look into the plastic housing you can drop your battery into, if it will fit into where i keep my batteryEdit.. Ordered two cases off amazon for 12$ each for the 27 Group Size. The smaller sizes are cheaper. I strongly suggest you guys get one for each of your batteries to contain the acid if there is a blow out.
i see people do it with fishing line all the time as well. they have the best rods, reels, lures and buy the cheapest fishing line they can.... whats the point?!
^^^^^this
X2. My line costs are out of control!
The issue with batteries is this...its a couple very large manifacturers who make the majority and then white label or oem their stuff to be remarketed as optima, interstate, and so forth. Thus many times its the same manufacturer with a different label. If its flooded acid and you do not check the water level what happens to Will can happen to any of us. I also use a promariner...I have 2 2 bank jobs. The issue I suspect is it blew that battery during a conditioning cycle. Which is hugher voltage pumped specifically to clean deposites off the flooded plates. I can see how a dry battery would nuke during that cycle. That said ill be checking and adding distilled water to mine!
